The ingredients for Zesty pumpkin soup are:

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
3 cups low sodium chicken broth ( 600 mg sodium per cup)
1-16 oz can pumpkin, no sodium
1 cup half and half
Sour cream and chives if desired (not calculated in nutrition count)

Here is how you make Zesty pumpkin soup:

Melt butter, saute onion till translucent, add garlic for a quick saute, then add curry powder, salt and red pepper, cook 1 minute. Add broth, boil gently uncovered 15-20 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and half and half, cook 5 minutes. At this point the original recipe says to blend till creamy, but we prefer it with the texture of the onion bits. If you choose to blend it, be aware that it's HOT, be careful. Garnish with sour cream and chives if desired. We do not use the chives, just the sour cream.
