Sabrina sent us this one recently, to add to our “pumpkin archives”. Definitely different.
The chipotle is what gives it the flavor of the old Southwest.
Southwestern Pumpkin Soup
Bring to a slow boil: 3 cups chicken stock, 1 cup half and half (you can substitute up or down by using either heavy cream, light cream, or evaporated skim milk)
Reduce heat to medium low and add: 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree, 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
Stir until smooth, heat through and serve. Top with various soup garnishes, such as shredded cheddar or chopped cilantro, if desired. Here are some tasty sandwich ideas to try along with this hearty soup.
