I wanted to post one of my very favorite soup recipes for you before we take off on our buying trip too.  I've posted it before and people seem to love it as much as we do here...

I'm going to make it while we're here enjoying our day trips and in between trying some new gourmet restaurants in Wine Country.  Here's the recipe:

Soupe de Potiron

(Pumpkin Soup)

3 c water

1 onion, diced

1/2 T sugar

2 tsp salt

10 ounce can pumpkin puree

(no flavor... just pumpkin)

1 c milk

salt & freshly ground pepper

creme fraiche (if desired)

Bring water, onion, sugar, salt to boil

Cover & simmer 10 min

Whisk in pumpkin & bring to boil

Simmer uncovered for 5 min, stirring constantly

Puree mixture in food processor or blender

until smooth

Pour back into saucepan and whisk in milk

Heat back to high simmer & season

with salt & pepper to taste

Serve with small dollop of creme fraiche

and light drizzle of olive oil if desired

Serves 4

 Hope you give it a try & enjoy!

We're off to enjoy some lovely times here in Wine Country...

Searching for store goods,

Enjoying good food
