Mexican Chili Burgers & South American-Style Pumpkin Soup







I made the veggie burgers yesterday.  I decided not to make them into patties and turned them into a loaf instead.  I used real garlic instead of garlic powder.  I used a lot less cumin since it's so strong.  And it's supposed to be 2 cups of brown rice, but I only had enough for 1 cup, so I used the multi-grain rice instead.  I think I did everything else the same.  It's pretty good.  I still put it on a bun like a burger, and added sour cream and cheese.  I give it an 8 1/2.
I made the soup today.  It was one of those recipes I had to try b/c it sounded different.  It is better than I expected, and mildly spicy.  Again, I used a lot less cumin than it called for.  It's the first recipe I've tried in the WW cookbook.  I would add more pumpkin though, another 1/2 a can at least.  I would make it again.  I like the interesting kick it has, especially w/ the lime! (P.S. love the way it looks in the pumpkin bowl!) Oh yeah, I'd give it an 8 1/2 - 9!
