Black Bean Tomato Pumpkin Soup $2.77

I love this combination not just for the nutrition, but the taste. The soup is simple to make and super inexpensive, especially when pumpkin puree is clearanced at my local convenience store for .77. Black beans provide protein and fiber, tomatoes and pumpkin contain vitamin E and beta carotene which act as a very powerful antioxidant killing off many bad cells. Pumpkin also contain vitamin A which promotes healthy vision and skin.

1/2 tsp black pepper .05
