Instructions: Saute onion in margarine. Stir in 1 can chicken broth; bring to a oil. over, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.

Transfer mixture to container of an electric blender; add flour. Top with cover, and process until smooth. Return mixture to pan; add remaining 1 can chicken broth, pumpkin, cumin, and salt, stirring well. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in milk; cook just until thoroughly heated (do not boil).

Garnish with chives.

NOTES : Heres another one that is very similar. I wouldnt bother with the margarine, and, again, Id use vegetable broth. Id also use soy milk and/or rice milk. The point is that you can saute some chopped onion, add some broth or other liquid,toss in a can of pumpkin, throw in a few seasonings of choice, and end up with a wonderful, healthy treat.

In case you are wondering: if you use savoury seasonings, it tastes nothing like pumpkin pie. :-)

Cheap, quick, and good for you!
