2. In a large saucepan heat olive oil over medium low heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, translucent and fragrant.

3. Add spices, stir and cook for a minute or two.

4. Stir in black bean-tomato puree, pumpkin, the rest of the broth and sherry (if using). Simmer uncovered until blended and thickened, about 15-2- minutes. Add vinegar and serve. Top with garnishes of choice, as noted above. For an extra smooth soup-, give it one more whirl in the blender.
