In need of Pumpkin soup recipe

[Guest guest]

I know somebody asked for a recipe for pumpkin/squash soup before but

I haven't seen any postings for it so I thought I'd ask again. I'm

inexperienced with soups but absolutely love them of course so any

soup recipes would be greatly appreciated

I tried out the granola bar recipe using protein powder(half

powder and half flour) and they are great. Has anyone tried reducing

the sugar? I put peanut butter and chocolate chips in mine so of

course they taste more like cookie bars than granola bars. They

taste absolutely wonderful but I'm not so sure they'd be very good

for me trying to lose weight....guess I better try more of the dried

fruit option next time I passed this recipe onto my brother(also

a vegetarian) to try the protein powder option and he said he'd

actually try it out....that's just amazing. He's such a twig and is

trying to gain some weight. He just started lifting weights to try

and bulk up alittle but he just naturally has a small build. So any

recipes that help build weight would be good for him and any recipes

that help you lose weight would be good for me Thanks again

everybody, you guys are great!

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.
