The spices can be adjusted to your individual tastes.
Ingredients
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic (or to taste)
1 tsp. curry powder
Advertisement
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 cup pureed pumpkin (or about 1/2 can of pumpkin)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. sugar
1 Bay leaf
2 cups Veggie broth (or chicken broth)
1-1/2 cups milk (2% ok)
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. heavy cream (optional)
Chopped chives (as decoration and optional)
Directions
In large pan cook onion, garlic, and curry in the butter or margarine for a few minutes until onion is tender. Add pumpkin, nutmeg, sugar and the bay leaf. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Take out the bay leaf. Stir in 1 cup of the milk and cook over low heat for a few minutes.
In another bowl, stir together the remaining milk and the cornstarch until dissolved, then add it to the pan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook a couple more minutes.
Serves: 4-6
To Serve: Swirl the cream on top, and garnish with chives. This can also be frozen after it cools. It will be good up to 3 months frozen.

Sounds interesting and definitely healthy and different, but I wonder, does it taste sweet? Like Pumpkin pie filling? Thanks.
