Introduction

Slightly spicy, pumpkin soup. I had some organic french onion soup in the fridge but wanted pumpkin soup and didn't have chicken broth so gave this a shot. It turned out good. I think next time I'll use twice the sage and 1/2 the curry powder because I love sage. The perfect way to use up those leftover pumpkins after Halloween when you're feeling like something autumnal.

Add 1.5 cups pumpkin puree, fresh pumpkin, and 1 medium chopped sweet potato to soup and cover partially. Cook for 10 more minutes, or until the pumpkin and sweet potato are soft.
