Pumpkin-Peanut Butter Soup

You can't read Pumpkin Soup without making Pumpkin Soup! Our recipe has the secret ingredient of a little peanut butter, which adds just enough saltiness to balance the sweetness of the pumpkin.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 and 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or homemade, leftover from your pie)
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup skim milk (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. 
2. Add the pumpkin, broth, water, peanut butter, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
3. Stir until thickened, and all peanut butter has melted into the soup, about 3-5 minutes.
4. You might need to thin the soup a bit with the skim milk.
5. Enjoy!
