    I know it's over but this is too good not to share:

    Curried Pumpkin and Coconut milk soup

    2 cans of 100% pumpkin
    2 cans of coconut milk (you can use light)
    4-6 cups broth (chicken or veggie)
    2 shallots
    coconut oil
    1 tablespoon of chopped lemongrass
    1 inch (+ or -) minced ginger
    1 + 1/2 limes juiced
    3 tbl good quality curry powder
    salt and pepper to taste
    cilantro, roasted pumpkin seeds and plain greek yogurt to garnish

    Saute minced shallots, ginger and lemongrass in coconut oil until tender. Add curry powder and saute, stirring on low for one minute. Add 1/2 cup of broth and scrape up any brown bits. Add the pumpkin and stir over low heat until well mixed. Slowly add broth and bring to a boil. Add lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add coconut milk and bring back to a simmer. Serve garneshed with greek yogurt, roasted pumpkin seeds and cilantro. Enjoy!

    When I made it last, I used regular coconut milk and it think it turned out to be about 265 calories per serving :)
