    Recipe Introduction


    Pumpkin and chicken broth are beautifully blended with saut�ed garlic and onions to form the base of this fabulous soup. Curry, coriander and crushed red pepper add zest, flavor and liveliness to this creamy combination.


    List of Ingredients




    3 tablespoons butter
    1 cup finely chopped onion, (1 small)
    1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    1 teaspoon curry powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground coriander*
    1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    3 cups water
    3 MAGGI Chicken Bouillon Cubes
    1 can (15-oz) LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin, (1 3/4 cups)
    1 cup half-and-half

    Recipe



    MELT butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in curry powder, salt, coriander and crushed red pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add water and bouillon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes to develop flavors. Stir in pumpkin and half-and-half; cook for 5 minutes or until heated through.

    TRANSFER mixture to food processor or blender (in batches, if necessary); cover. Blend until creamy. Serve warm or reheat to desired temperature. Garnish with dollop of sour cream and chives.

    PREPARATION TIP: Soup may be prepared the day ahead. Cool to room temperature after adding pumpkin and half-and-half. Cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, blend then reheat to serving temperature, but do not boil.

    *Add another 1/8-teaspoon coriander (if desired) to taste.
