Instructions: You can make ad lib soups very easily. For example, pumpkin soup can be made by opening one can of chicken broth and one can of pumpkin puree (or use two cups of puree from your freezer). Cut up a few pieces of bacon and saute the bacon in olive oil with onion and garlic. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add the pumpkin puree and more broth or water as needed to achieve the texture you prefer. Heat to
a simmer, whisk in sour cream to taste, season with chives, salt and peppers - red, black, and white - and plate it. Add a swirl of sour cream the way restaurants do. People will swear you killed yourself. Let em think it.
