Curried Pumpkin Soup (one of my favroite soups)

[Guest guest]

Curried Pumpkin Soup

 

large onion, finely chopped

1 cup celery chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons butter

1 29 oz. can pumpkin puree

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup water

1 tablespoon curry

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

2 dashes nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon thyme

 

Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add the onion, celery and garlic. Cook until the onion

is translucent, about 10 minutes.

Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, water, curry,

brown sugar, cumin, pepper, salt and nutmeg

(everything else but the thyme). Reduce the heat to

moderately low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring

occasionally.

Transfer the vegetable soup to a blender (working in

batches) and puree until smooth. Add the thyme and

taste for additional seasoning. Or use a handheld

blender.

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

May need to thin out the soup with additional water

(especially when re-heating).

I'm sure cooked fresh would work when it's in season. I only see

fresh pumpkins a few months out of the year in my area.

The kind of pumpkin in a can is different than most Halloween

pumpkins. Try it out. The kind in a can are " sugar pumpkins " and

much sweeter than most pumpkins. Usually stores sell a few a the

sugar pumpkins. They are much smaller than the others. At least the

ones I've seen.

I agree Katie. I have tried boiling it too and it was so watery. Someone told me

that they baked the fresh pumpkin, cut into chunks, instead of boiling, but I

haven't tried doing that yet.

Canned pumpkin also has a specific water content. It is very difficult to get

fresh cooked pumpkin that thick. I have tried. Now I just use canned.

No, no, don't boil it, bake it! sugar pumpkin, cut in half (cut side down on

cookie pan with

a little oil to prevent sticking) and bake for 30-45 minutes. Then use it as a

substitute for

any canned pumpkin. I agree the sugar pumpkins are the best!

 

Also, if you do it this way, you get the seeds too! roast them and season them

to your

liking, and voila! pepitas!

 

I should go plant some pumpkins.

a friend of mine once worked in a pumpkin canning plant and I remember him

telling me that they used the whole pumpkin, stem, skin, and seeds. He also

mentioned that there was often many moldy & rotten ones, sometime old shoes

etc, that went into the vats. He said he would never eat canned pumpkin again.

However I still do buy it though.

Do you suppose organic canned pumpkin uses only vegan old shoes? I told my

husband about the pumpkin and he suggested using the juicer to dry it out a

bit. It might work. It would be better than eating moldy pumpkins and old

shoes, vegan or otherwise.

Gary,

 

I guess I'm pretty well set. I have lots of old shoes so I can save

money and not buy the pumpkin.

Dear Gary,

 

Old shoes! Eeewww! I'm sticking to fresh pumpkin. Crikey!

At least when you make it yourself from non-canned fresh stuff, you know you

won't get a surprise!

 

Cheers,

Barb
