Decadent Pumpkin Soup
by Marcia Passos Duffy
Okay, this is not low fat or low carb or
low sugar or anything related to a "good"
diet. BUT, it tastes wonderfully rich!
And we all deserve that during the winter
months.
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
6 cups chicken broth
3 cups pumpkin puree
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup dry red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
nutmeg
Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan and sauté the onion until it is soft. Stir in
the chicken broth, pumpkin, sugar and spices. Continue stirring and bring to a
boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the
cream and adjust seasonings to taste. Add red wine and carefully bring the
soup to a boil. Serve immediately (or can be served cold). Sprinkle with
nutmeg is desired to garnish.
Serves 6-8.
