Perfect Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients
  • 2
    medium onions, sliced
  • 2
    medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1
    tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1
    tablespoon olive oil
  • 3
    cups water
  • 1
    14 ounce can chicken broth
  • 1
    15 ounce can pumpkin
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8
    teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2
    cup dairy sour cream
  • Ground nutmeg

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, cook onion, carrot, and ginger in hot oil over medium heat about 8 minutes or until vegetables are golden, stirring occasionally.

2. Stir in water, chicken broth, pumpkin, salt, pepper, and the 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool mixture slightly.

3. Place half of the pumpkin mixture in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Repeat with remaining pumpkin mixture. Return all of the mixture to the saucepan. Heat soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot.

Made the recipe by the steps and it didn't seem to wow me. I think it would have needed more time to reduce or adding more pumpkin.

To "tininha"--If you live in the United States and are within a 25-mile radius of any supermarket, you should not have a problem. You'll find canned pumpkin in the canned vegetables aisle. Look for pumpkin-only; that is, pumpkin without any spices added. The most famous brand of pumpkin in the world is Libby. If you live outside the US, I'm afraid I can't help you!

This was a really good soup. I hadn't had a pumpkin soup before so I didn't really know what I was getting into but it was really unique and good. I actually doubled the pumpkin amount (to 30 ozs) to make it thicker which I liked.
