CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP (FROM AUSTRALIA)



Creamy Pumpkin Soup (From Australia) image

This recipe is from "Cooking the Australian Way," which says that nearly every family has a version of it. This one sounds good. Haven't made it yet. If you're not looking to hold down fat content or calories, you can double the butter; substitute half-and-half for the evaporated skim milk; and use full-fat sour cream. Use fresh cooked and pureed pumpkin if desired
