Directions
Add butter and olive oil to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery: cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to ensure that the garlic doesn't burn. Stir in curry powder, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute.

Add broth and pumpkin; bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in evaporated milk. Transfer mixture to food processor or blender (in batches, if necessary); cover. Blend until smooth. Serve warm.

    I don't know what I didn't like about this, but it just wasn't for me. My husband and I played around with the spices, but this soup just didn't do it for us. - 10/12/09

    Very good as is...I added drained black beans, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and a dash of nutmeg and cayenne to give it a little more complexity. - 7/19/09
