I will admit, I didn't hold out much hope for this one, which is the big reason I made it for lunch for myself rather than subject my family to it. I have had pumpkin soup in the past that I just didn't care for at all. I happened to have a can of pumpkin in the cupboard so I went for it.
And I liked it. It was really good. I think the curry is what makes the biggest difference. Topped with french fried onions (less carbs than crackers!) I ended up eating two big bowls of it.
Curried Pumpkin Soup
1/4 c. minced onion
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp butter
1 quart chicken broth
1 1/2 c. canned pumpkin
1/2 c. carb countdown dairy beverage (I use half and half)
2 tsp. curry powder
In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in butter. When soft, add chicken broth and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in canned pumpkin, dairy beverage (of choice) and curry powder. Bring to simmer and cook another 15 minutes.
Enjoy
