Because no one has been posting (including me) and this blog is so sad, plus I had the most amazing soup this last week, I'm going to share. I call this soup Happy Soup. That's because I'm so happy when I'm eating it. Call it a natural antidepressant. Call it comfort food. Call it whatever you want to, it's good. And even better: it's so easy! Make it tonight, and your family will wonder where that scowling, crusty, nagging old woman went and where this beautiful, smiling, happy person came from.
Here it is. In all its beauty.
First you need a medium yellow onion and 4 cloves garlic. Chop 'em up. Then saute them in 2 Tbsp butter until onions are clear.
Add3 tsp curry powder and 1/2 tsp salt and cook for 2 mins.
Now add:
3 cups chicken broth
15 oz pumpkin (one of the small cans)
Simmer for 10 mins.
Add one can of evaporated milk. Then, working in small batches, puree the soup in a blender. Pureeing makes it...indescribable. Frothy. Smooth. Divine.
Now eat it and love it.
**This recipe came from Betsy, a fellow interpreter. I will forever love her for bringing it into my life.
this sounds really yummy, and I have everything except the pumpkin...grocery store, here I come!
ReplyDeletei made this last weekend for a soup party i had, and boy oh boy did i love it again and again!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCurse you, Wal-Mart grocery section--no canned pumpkin. I will have to return to my boycott of Wal-Mart and only shop at Kroger...
ReplyDeleteI haven't made curried pumpkin soup for years and I don't even remember what recipe I used. I'm excited to try it again, and since I only have the big cans of pumpkin, I guess I'll have to double it ;)
