·    Cooking spray
·    1 1/2  cups  finely chopped onion

·    ¼-1/2 tsp nutmeg
·    ½ - 1 tsp curry
·    ¼-1/2 tsp cayenne
·    3  garlic cloves, minced

Place tomatoes and beans in a food processor; process until about half the beans are smooth. Set aside.

Heat oil in a Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add cumin and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add bean mixture, broth, and next 3 ingredients (through pumpkin); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Stir in sherry. Ladle about 1 cup soup into each of 6 bowls; sprinkle each serving with about a tablespoon of sour cream and about 1 tablespoon green onions. Garnish with pumpkinseed kernels, if desired.
