Here’s a few you might not have tried yet:

soup

Harvest Pumpkin Soup:

  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 large potato
  • 1 large onion
  • 4½ c. chicken broth
  • 1 can pure pumpkin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ½ pt. heavy cream

 

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the potato and onion, then stir occasionally for around 8 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add in chicken broth and let it boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until potato is tender, around 10 to 12 minutes. Then stir in the pumpkin. Use an immersion blender to puree the entire mixture until it’s smooth (or puree in batches), then return to pot. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg and then increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. Then cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
