Fall is a great time to experiment with new soup recipes. Here is one of my favorites from my friend Chris. She makes this every year for Halloween. It is delicious and easy! I am serving it with a salad and my easy Beer Bread (see recipe below pumpkin soup recipe).
Pumpkin Soup:
1/4 Cup butter
1 Large onion sliced
1/4 Cup green onion
2 Cups pumpkin puree
4 Cups chicken stock
Pinch of Curry powder
Pinch of Ginger
Pinch of Nutmeg
2 Cups of half & half
Melt Butter. Saute onions until tender and golden. Add pumpkin, chicken stock, curry, ginger and nutmeg. Simmer 20 minutes or so. Remove from the heat ad let cool down a bit. Use blender or food processor to puree and put back in pot. Add half & half let it simmer (but don’t let it boil) for another 5 minutes. Garnish with green onion and sour cream or parsley sprigs.
Beer Bread:
3 Cups flour
1/2 Cups sugar
1 Teas. baking soda
1 Bottle of beer (I used a blonde ale, but you can make it with any kind)
Mix it together & bake at 350 for 1 hour.
