How about some Saturday soup?

[Guest guest]

Saturday is a wonderful time to kick back, pay bills,

clean the house a bit, do some laundry, some relaxing

needlework, watch an old movie and make some

Saturday Soup. Any soup recipe will do, but it is nice

to pull out leftover veggies from past meals and toss

them in as well. A loaf of warm crusty bread and a big

mug of something hot and hearty. Mmmm

 

Here is a recipe that would fit the bill:

 

Pumpkin Soup

 

2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 " pieces

1 cup buttermilk

1 Tbs margarine

2 cups canned pumpkin

2 Tbs chunky peanut butter

2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock

1 1/2 cups skim milk

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp grated nutmeg

2 tsp lemon juice

 

1. Place the potatoes in a 2 quart sauce pan; add cold

water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium/high heat.

Reduce the heat to low; cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes,

or until fork tender. Drain well.

 

2. Transfer the potatoes to a blender.

Add the buttermilk and process until smooth.

 

3. In a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine.

Stir in the potato mixture, pumpkin and peanut butter;

mix until smooth. Stir in the stock, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg;

cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until heated through.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
