Ingredients
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 15-ounce cans unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup reduced fat (2%) milk
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Crème fraiche
Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed 3- or 4-quart stockpot, melt butter over medium-high heat, or until it becomes fragrant. Add onions and sauté until they become tender and just translucent. Add ginger and curry powder and stir to combine. Let cook another 2-3 minutes so that flavors can blend.
  2. Step 2: Add pumpkin and stock, and with a sturdy whisk, stir until combined. Bring the pot to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and let cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat, add milk and cayenne pepper, and stir until blended.
  3. Serve topped with crème fraiche, if desired
