I FINALLY found Andouille in a market up here (we are short on ethnic 
and
gourmet foods with the exception of asian foods) and was thrilled.  
Will
trade ya a gumbo recipe for my black bean soup?
This one would be perfect for this time of year (made it last 
thanksgiving
actually) and the sausage would be a nice swap for the ham.

BLACK BEAN PUMPKIN SOUP 
three 15 1/2 ounce cans black beans (about 4 1/2 cups), rinsed and 
drained
1 cup drained canned tomatoes, chopped
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup minced shallot
4 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
4 cups beef broth
a 16-ounce can pumpkin pure� (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup dry Sherry
1/2 pound cooked ham, cut into 1/8-inch dice
3 to 4 tablespoons Sherry vinegar 
Garnish: sour cream and coarsely chopped lightly toasted pumpkin seeds 
In a food processor coarsely pure� beans and tomatoes.
In a 6-quart heavy kettle cook onion, shallot, garlic, cumin, salt, and
pepper in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened 
and
beginning to brown. Stir in bean pure�. Stir in broth, pumpkin, and 
Sherry
until combined and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 25 
minutes, or
until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. 
Just before serving, add ham and vinegar and simmer soup, stirring, 
until
heated through. Season soup with salt and pepper. 
Serve soup garnished with sour cream and toasted pumpkin seeds.
