Zesty Pumpkin Soup


1/4 c. butter
1 c. chopped onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
3 c. chicken broth
1 3/4 c. (16 oz. can) Libby's solid pack pumpkin
1 c. half and half

In large saucepan, melt butter; saute onion and garlic until soft. Add curry powder, salt, coriander and red pepper; cook 1 minute. Add broth; boil gently, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and half and half; cook 5 minutes. Pour into blender container (I never do this step). Cover; blend until creamy. Serve warm or reheat to desired temperature. Garnish with dollop of sour cream and chopped chives (or green onions), if desired.

It isn't chunky at all, it's almost foamy.
