Very easy to make PUMPKIN SOUP!!

Since I had SO MUCH pumpkin meat .. I decided to try my hand at pumpkin SOUP….soup you say??? You should have seen my hubby wrinkle his nose! LOL…however…it is DELICIOUS!!!! I made a whole pot - and while I’m the one that ate the biggest bowl, I plan on freezing this and popping it in the ice cube trays for later 1 bowl soup dishes

here’s the recipe - very simple!

Simple Pumpkin Soup

1/2 cup onion
3 tbsp. butter
2 cups mashed cooked pumpkin
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup half and half or fat free half and half.

Chop the onions and gently brown with butter in a pan. Put mashed pumpkin with onions in pan. Add the salt, sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Slowly add chicken broth and heat thoroughly, but do not boil. To serve, pour into a tureen and add the cream. Makes 4 to 6 small servings.

Now - for my take - I omited the cream and added just a bit of milk and an extra pat of butter - I also doubled the amount of pumpkin and used stevia instead of sugar. When it was all cooking really good, I decided to take my handy dandy stick blender and puree it a bit more. mmmmm it is WONDERFUL!!!
