Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large baking potato, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Garnishes: sour cream, fresh cilantro sprig

How to Make It

Step 1

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeño pepper, and garlic; sauté 15 minutes. Add chicken broth and next 4 ingredients; cook, stirring often, 30 minutes or until potato is tender. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly (about 5 to 10 minutes).

Step 2

Process potato mixture, pumpkin, and cilantro, in batches, in a food processor or blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.

Step 3

Return to Dutch oven; stir in milk, and simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in lime juice; garnish, if desired.

This is really a great recipe for the winter. My family loved it. I used my stick mixer to blend it right in the cooking pot, worked great. That way I didn't have to mess up another container.

Excellant! I love to change recipes, but I would not mess with this one. It has a nice balance of flavors. My family loved it. I served it in bread bowls with sour cream. I would not bother with the bread bowls next time. This ones a keeper.
