I love gardening and have a big pumpkin patch. A few years ago when our harvest was very plentiful, I experimented and came up with this recipe. My family just loves this creamy pumpkin soup.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
2 cups sliced peeled potatoes
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the broth, potatoes and pumpkin; cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
Puree half of the mixture at a time in a blender or food processor until smooth; return all to pan. Add the milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper; heat through.
Meanwhile, combine sour cream and parsley. Spoon soup into bowls; top each with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with bacon.
