Ingredients

  • 1/2 15-ounce can solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
  • 1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
  • 2 cups fat-free half-and-half
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro (optional)

Method

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pumpkin and broth until smooth.
  • Whisk in the sugar, curry powder, cinnamon, cumin, and cayenne.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, about 3 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 3 minutes.
  • Whisk in the half-and-half and salt.
  • Increase the heat to medium low and cook, covered, for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Serve topped with the cilantro.
  • The cayenne helps heighten the flavors in this soup.
  • The level of heat intensifies as it sits, though, so if you arent serving the soup right away, stir in the cayenne at serving time.
