Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is a staple recipe in my house. I make a huge pot of it, and even my non-bean eaters gobble it down. I'm a vegetarian, so I use vegetable broth instead. I also bring this to potlucks and get positive feedback... great recipe, simple and hearty!
