JD's Pumpkin Soup

Submitted by Marli

"Posted for a request. This is my BF's creation & the only way I make pumpkin soup now. We usually throw all the ingredients in the pot without measuring, so these quantities are a GUESS - use as much or as little curry powder you like. For extra flavour I sometimes roast the pumpkin before adding it."

Delicious! This soup is hearty, filling and has just enough spice. It was the first pumpkin soup I've ever made and I thoroughly enjoyed it as did my dinner guest. It was a lot thicker than I was expecting which was great, just be warned that it has the consistency of a thick apple sauce. If you're looking for a thinner soup you might want to add more broth. Thanks Marli!

We added 2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses and it was a nice flavor enhancer - it deepened and enriched the overall flavor of the soup.
