Hearty Santa Fe Pumpkin Soup Recipe

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
• ½ tbsp canola oil
• 1 15 oz can LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 1 4 oz can diced green chiles
• 1 cup NESTLÉ® JUICY JUICE® All Natural
  100% Apple Juice
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp paprika, smoked if preferred
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 15 oz can black beans, no-salt-added, drained and rinsed
• 8 oz frozen pre-cooked grilled chicken strips (about 8 strips), cut cross-wise thinly
• Low-fat sour cream
• Fresh chopped cilantro, optional

• When you make your everyday favorites by adding canned pumpkin, not only do you add the delicious taste of pumpkin, but fiber and vitamin A too. Adding pumpkin also helps to reduce the fat and sodium content in your recipes.
• Store leftover pumpkin in a sealed plastic container for 1 week in the refrigerator, and up to 3 months in the freezer. When freezing, make sure that the pumpkin does not go right to the top of the container because it may expand when frozen. The pumpkin may have a separated appearance when thawed, but this will not affect your recipe.

Tips about Juice

• Drinking or cooking with 100% juice is a convenient way to help meet your daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. One 4 oz glass of 100% juice is ½ cup of the 4½ cups of fruits and vegetables recommended daily on a 2000-calorie diet.
• There are no added sugars in 100% juice—just the natural sugars found in whole fruit.
• According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, two nutrient-dense beverages stand out as providing “a substantial amount of nutrients along with the calories they contain:” fat-free/low-fat milk and 100% fruit juice.
