4 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 25 min.Ingredients

1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon canola oil (I used olive oil)
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (I used the lower sodium)

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
Dash pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half cream or evaporated milk (I used the evaporated skimmed milk)
Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions
In a saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in oil until tender. Add the broth, pumpkin, lemon juice, curry powder, sugar, salt if desired and pepper; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in cream or evaporated milk; heat through. Garnish with parsley if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

    Sounds Yummy! I cleaned, cooked and pureed (froze) a pumpkin and needed a good recipe. Have you tried coconut milk?

    bumping this. . .I just ate it for lunch, and my husband (not fond of non meat-y things) also loved it.

    It's a perfect fall day thing to eat.:flowerforyou:
