stirring and cooking until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano and
garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.

Add the chipotle peppers, stock, and beans and cook until the squash has
finished cooking, about 10 minutes. Mash the beans gently with a wooden spoon
against the side of the pot to thicken, then season with salt and pepper. Ladle
into bowls and serve with scallions, grated cheese, and avocado.
