mmmmm...

We had friends over for dinner this past weekend... and I decided to make something very hearty and fall like... CURRIED PUMPKIN SOUP!

It was delightful... so I thought I'd share!

Curried Pumpkin Soup

4 Granny Smith Apples – peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 stick Butter
1 Large Sweet Onion – sliced
2 Cloves Garlic – crushed
1 tablespoon Curry Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 (15 ounce) can Pumpkin Puree
4 cups Vegetable Broth
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 Bay Leaf
2 cups Heavy Cream
Pinch Nutmeg

Directions
-Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, curry, cumin, sugar and nutmeg; sauté, stirring often, until onion is soft and fragrant.

-Stir in apples, pumpkin, broth and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

-Puree soup in a food processor or a blender.

-Return soup to saucepan; add cream and reheat, covered, over low heat… do not let it boil.
