Vegetarian Recipes: Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin Soup

2 Tbs butter (or olive oil)
2 cup chicken (or vegetable) broth
2 chopped green onions
2 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin (Butternut squash or yams work too)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup milk (or almond milk)
1 Tbs tomato paste

Optional: Italian herbs, garlic powder (fresh is better), seasoned salt or Cajun seasoning --whatever tastes good to you.

Saute onion and celery in butter or olive oil. Stir in tomato paste, broth, pumpkin, bay leaf, and seasonings. Simmer 30 minutes. Add milk or 1/2 just before serving. DO NOT BOIL! Sprinkle chopped parsley on top (for color) plus dash nutmeg.
