Soups On...

~This is a picture of Southern Living's Creamy Southwestern Pumpkin Soup~

Good Golly I love Fall!  And today is one of those days.  I've done a little decorating and moving things around and it's been raining all day.  I have soup on the stove and Carson just ran in from off the bus and smelled it's mighty goodness!  "Mom, what in the world!"  I love when he's so dramatic.  I wonder where he gets it from?  But seriously, my kids gobble this pumpkin goodness up!

Pumpkin Curry Soup

2 Tbsp of Butter {I use salted} 

One small to medium Onion~diced 

1-1 1/2 tsp of Garlic {I use the squeeze tube}

2 tsp Curry Powder 

1/4 tsp Pepper

One can of 100% Pumpkin Puree

2 cans of Chicken Broth {I use 33% less sodium}

3/4 cup of Coconut Milk {Shake in can a bit to get it really mixed}

~Optional~

Chives and Sour Cream

~ Saute in your soup pot, the onion and butter {about 5-10 mins} on medium.  Add the Garlic for one minute.  Then add the Curry and Pepper for another minute.  The Chicken Broth, and the Pumpkin Puree are next.  Mix and let simmer for 20 minutes.  After your 20 minute simmer is finished, take off the heat and add your Coconut milk.  Then blend for a smooth constancy.  {I use my stick blender and it works perfectly, but you can use a regular blender as well}.  Top with chives and a dollop of sour cream if you're feeling fancy!
