Pumpkin Soup

[Guest guest]

I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounds very delicious; especially with the

addition of peanut butter. Mmmmmmm. I just may have to try it. Please post

your favorite pumpkin soup recipe if you have one. I am searching for the

perfect recipe to try. So far, this sounds the best I have found, but it doesn't

include garlic. (?) I could always add it later if I find it is lacking.

 

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 util heated through. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon

juice.
