Pumpkin Soup

To be true to the season, I tried my hand at a variety of pumpkin recipes. I admit that I haven't perfected them. Yet, its a start-I don't usually cook anything pumpkin.

Pumpkin Soup

• 3cups chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• black pepper 

 
Heat stock, salt, pumpkin, onion, thyme, garlic, and a pinch of black pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered. Puree the soup in a blender. Return to pan, and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for another 15 minutes, uncovered. Stir in heavy cream. Pour into soup bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. 

Soup served with baked sweet potato with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
