Bill Yankee’s Pumpkin Soup
5 lbs. pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cut in pieces. Leftover Halloween jack-o-lanterns are best.
½ bag of peeled mini-carrot
4 quarter-sized slices of ginger, diced
2 big onions
scallions
apple, if you have some
Saute the onions and scallions in butter and olive oil until translucent.
Add the carrots and then the pumpkin.
Add salt and pepper and 2 small cans of chicken broth, plus water as needed.
Cook for 30 minutes, or until pumpkin is soft. Mash with potato masher. Stir.
Add
little pieces of apple close to serving, especially if you’ve used lady
apples for the lantern’s eyes and don’t know what else to do with
them.
Stir again and serve.
