It seems like I have not posted in ages. First I was training all the time for my 1/2 Iron distance triathlon race. Training for a race like that did not leave much time for blogging.
After my race was done in mid November my computer decided to crash. I did not have a PC for a week. The hard drive had to be replaced. The tech did a scan to recover what he could, but that meant days of going through scanned files to organize everything.
So I am back to writing. I've published this recipe before, but it is a great one to repeat at this time of year. I had some pumpkin puree and chicken broth in the freezer, so this was easy to through together. I changed up the spices just a bit this time. The original recipe called for Thai red curry. I changed that up to a French Masalacurry blend called Vadouvan from The Spice House here in Milwaukee. They have a web site www.thespicehouse.com
I also added Turmeric since it goes well with curry powder and is so healthy.
Curried Pumpkin Soup
1 lb baby bella mushrooms sliced
4 tablespoons butter melted
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups pumpkin puree ( 15 ounce can)
1 can ( 12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon curry spice blend ( Vadouvan French Masala Curry)
1 tablespoon turmeric powder.
Melt the butter in a soup pot. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft. Add the flour and spices. Add the broth, pumpkin and evaporated milk. Salt and pepper to taste.
Makes 6 servings.
