Hi! Keroleen here and it’s time for a special Autumn recipe. ^_^

Autumn brings lots of changes. The trees begin to change colors, bringing a beautiful array of different colored foliage, which eventually drops off into our yards. It also brings cooler temperatures.

Fall vegetables bring to mind the hearth, coziness, beautiful autumn colors, hearty food and interesting one dish and multi-dish menus. When it comes to food preparation, we think about roasting, caramelizing, thick rich stocks, braising and sauteeing.

Pumpkin is a very versatile vegetable usually used in Fall / Autumn recipes. It can be used for soups, salads, sidings, main course and desserts. Here’s a simple soup recipe which you can use for your celebrations.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp. butter or oil
2 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. curry powder
3 cups chicken broth
1 can (or 1 lb. pureed) pumpkin
1 tbsp. honey
dash nutmeg
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 cup evaporated milk
optional sour cream or yogurt, topping

Procedure:

Sautee mushrooms and onion in butter or oil. Add flour and curry and stir gradually while adding broth. Add all other ingredients except the milk and continue cooking while stirring for 10 - 15 minutes. Then add milk and heat without boiling. May be topped with sour cream or yogurt.
