Large Stock Pot
Blender
Whisk
- 4 tbsp. margarine
- 1 Large onion finely chopped
- 2 carrots finely chopped
- 28 oz chicken broth 2 14.5 cans of chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 29 oz. canned pumpkin 1 can plain pumpkin
- 1 golden delicious apple peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. salt optional
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 cup heavy cream
Melt margarine in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and carrots, cook 5 minutes or until soft.
Add broth, water, pumpkin, apple, ginger, salt, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cool mixture slightly by removing from heat for a short period of time. Using a blender or food processor, puree soup in batches. I use an immersion blender blending it right in the pot.
Return blended soup to pot and whisk in heavy cream by hand. Reheat, but do not boil! Sprinkle a little nutmeg on top and serve! Enjoy!
