In a food processor or blender coarsely puree beans and tomatoes. (Or you can use a hand held blender and see if you can spray black beans all over your kitchen. You decide how much fun to have!) In a 6-quart heavy pot cook onion, shallot, cumin, salt, and pepper in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened and beginning to brown. Stir in bean puree. 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.
