Pumpkin Soup

What's more fall than pumpkins? A wonderful hot steaming owl of heart pumpkin soup on a blustery fall day! At least I'm hoping that will be the case!

We carved our pumpkins just before trick or treating, and refrigerated them right after so that we could bake them and remove all the yummy pumpkin insides to eat! We're trying to make our pumpkins go the distance this year- jack'o'lanterns, toasted seeds, and what to do with all the rest!? One of the recipes we're anxious to try is Pumpkin Soup! I'll post a comment if and when we make it to let everyone know how it's turned out.. but it sure sounds yummy!

Pumpkin Soup

2T butter
1/2c chopped onion
4c chicken stock
1/4t ground ginger
1/4t ground nutmeg
3c cooked pumpkin pulp (canned works too!)
corn chips

In a soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat on the stove. Saute the onion in it for 5 minutes. Add the stock, ginger, nutmeg, and pumpkin. Brig the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer the soup for 10 minutes until it is thick. Stir it every so often so that it doesn't stick to the pan and burn. Serve with corn chips.

I promised an update when this was made. Sorry I don't have any pictures yet... but I did want to share how delicious this is! Yumm!!! I didn't have it with the corn chips, so I can't report on that. I would recommend some other delicious options too though.. for a more savory soup, adding some bacon would be delish, or for a sweet hot soup, add some candied ginger to kick it up a notch!
