The following recipe for Simple Pumpkin Soup is from SurvivalBlog reader G.C. She said that she adapted it from one that she found years ago in Country Living.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 peeled and chopped potato
- 1 chopped onion
- 4 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 pound of cooked pumpkin (or one 15-ounce can of pumpkin, if you don’t have fresh pumpkins available.)
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ pint heavy cream
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large pot and cook the potato and the onion for about 8 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pot.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin and purée with a hand blender or an electric immersion blender until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Increase the heat and boil the soup.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the cream and stir well.
- Reheat and season with salt and pepper.
