Pumpkin Soup

     Thanks to all my ladies who came to my last card class and craft sale. It was a huge success for my mom. she sold everything. The last gal took everything that was left . I will certainly miss you ladies. YOU are the best.
      I told you I would post my Pumpkin Soup recipe. Here it is:

        Cream of Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients
2 TBS butter
1/2 yellow onion, chopped or sliced thin
1/2 cup carrots, sliced thin(I omitted this because of my diet)
1 rib celery,chopped( I used 2 ribs,because I didn't use carrots)
2 cups canned pure pumpkin(not pumpkin pie filling)
3 cups chicken broth
white pepper to taste
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup cream or half n half

Preperation
In a 4-qt saucepan, saute the onions in butter until transparent. Add all the other ingredients, except the cream, stir occasionaly, until the vegetables are very soft.

Place in a blender and carefully puree until completely smooth. Pour back into the saucepan and add the cream. Warm the soup. Serve.
