Pumpkin Soup

This is my own creation: creamy, yummy, and full of beta-carotene (vitamin A). A great starter for Thanksgiving dinner.

Pumpkin Soup

Steam, then peel and blend in your blender or in your soup pot with your immersion blender.:

1 medium sized pumpkin

2 yams, peeled

Add:

1 cube butter

half-and-half as needed, to keep the blender from bogging down

salt to taste

Toast

1 C slivered almonds

Serve soup garnished with

toasted almonds

1 t sour cream

a sprinkle of nutmeg.

The trick to this soup is a good blender and to blend the pumpkin and sweet potato until they are velvety.
