1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup soy milk

2. Add 1 can chicken broth; stir well.
3. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
4. Transfer broth mixture into the container of a blender or processor.
5. Process until smooth.
6. Return mixture to saucepan.
7. Add remaining can of broth, pumpkin, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground pepper; stir well.
8. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
