Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 This recipe came across my desktop today, just as I was looking to see what soup recipe I would make. So, having all the needed ingredients on hand, I tried it. It's lovely! I doubled the recipe, since I had a 28 fluid ounce can of pumpkin, and used 1/2 water and half vegetarian stock (sodium reduced). My non-dairy milk was low-fat soy, and I also used far less oil to cook. I might have been a tad heavier on the spices, but not by much. I think anyone who likes spices and pumpkin would enjoy this. It's mild in spice but full in flavour. Try it. Best, Pat PCRM Recipe of the Week November 19, 2009 Pumpkin Soup Dear PCRM supporter, This sweet and creamy soup has just a hint of spiciness. It can also be made with puréed winter squash, yams, or sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin. Directions Makes about 8 1-cup servings 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 2 cups water or vegetable broth 1 15-ounce can pumpkin 2 tablespoons maple syrup or other sweetener 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 cups fortified nondairy milk Warm oil in a large pot. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add mustard seeds, turmeric, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, and salt and cook 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Whisk in water or broth, pumpkin, syrup or other sweetener, and lemon juice. Simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in nondairy milk. Transfer about 3 cups to a blender and purée until very smooth. Repeat with remaining soup. Be sure to start on low speed and hold lid on tightly. Return to the pot and heat without boiling, until steamy.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I don't see why not. Remember too that you can adjust the thickness of the soup by using less liquid or by adding more. Good luck - and let me know how it went, okay? And if you changed anything else? I love trying out new ways with known recipes.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 There are other nondairy " milks " like rice milk. Kthleen What is " non dairy milk " ? Soy milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Also, almond milk can be purchased. But soy is what most people would probably use, it being by far the most 'usual' of the non-dairy milks. Just be sure that whichever one you choose to use is not flavoured - eg. chocolate, strawberry or whatever lol Although I've used vanilla-flavoured almond milk in savoury dishes before now, with no disastrous results.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Anything but dairy milk. It can be soy, almond, hemp, rice and several others.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi, Has anyone ever made oat milk at home? I was going to try at one time but got distracted (well, probably just forgot) and now can't remember the proportions of oats to water and all that stuff. Anyone able to help out how to make this? It'd be handy in cooking, since sometimes one needs a little milk but (unless there's the old habit of drinking it on a daily basis) find there's none in the house, whereas most kitchens have (in my experience) some form of oats or oatmeal - - - ??? Thanks, it'd be a help to newbies too, not just to this absent-minded mod. Best, Pat , Patricia <moondreamer64_2000 wrote: > > Anything but dairy milk.
