Pumpkin Soup

8 Servings


3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups skim milk
1 quart chicken broth


Sauté the onion in margarine, and stir in pumpkin.
Blend flour and spices with 1/3 cup of milk. Stir into the pumpkin mixture.
Add remaining milk, and cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 10 minutes until thickened.
Do not allow to boil. Mix in the broth and heat almost to boiling.
(If the soup separates from overheating, whirl in a blender to restore consistency.)
Serve hot, garnished with chives or parsley.
