Let this simple pumpkin soup warm you heart and soul this winter! It's so easy to make, you can whip it up in just minutes for a healthy, delicious lunch. Serve it in a bread bowl for an especially tasty treat.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 3 T. butter
• 2 C. pumpkin puree
• 2 C. chicken broth
• 1 t. salt
• 1/4 t. cinnamon
• 1 T. brown sugar or honey
• 1/4 t. yellow curry
• 1/2 C. fat free half and half

1. Melt butter over low heat in a large sauce pan or stock pot. Slowly stir in onion powder, pumpkin puree, chicken broth, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar or honey, and yellow curry. For extra tanginess, you can add in 2 T. of orange juice concentrate as well.

2. Warm soup over medium low heat, stirring frequently, but do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in half and half.

3. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with additional curry, if desired. Pumpkin soup is also delicious topped with sour cream--for a fun touch, fill a plastic baggie with 1/2 cup or so of sour cream, and snip off the corner of the bag. Using the bag like a decorative frosting bag, squeeze the sour cream carefully through the hole in the bag to make a design on your soup. Try a swirly pattern or a smiley face!

Tips & Warnings

• This is a great recipe to make with kids--instead of melting the butter in the pan, simply melt it in the microwave. Then let kids add in the ingredients and stir. An adult can then heat it in the microwave or over the stove.
