Pumpkin Soup

2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, any kid except red
2 pounds canned pure pumpkin (do not get the pie mix)
6 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup water
1 cup cream

Saute onion in butter until golden. Add canned pumpkin and then slowly stir in chicken broth. Add salt, pepper and pumpkin pie spice. Add brown sugar to taste or if you like a little sweeter soup you can add maple syrup, I prefer my soup savory. Simmer for 1 hour. In a large jar combine flour, water and cream. Remove soup from the heat and stir in mixture. You may add more cream according to your tastes.

Note: I found this recipe when Devon was a baby, he loved it. However, now taht he’s six I can’t even get his lips anywhere near the bwol. One day he will be begging me for this recipe, we’ll see how that goes.
