EASY CROCK POT PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Roughly chop the pumpkin - most pumpkins you can leave the skin on because the crock pot cooks over such a long period - and place in the crock pot.
• Chop potatoes up into cubes, dice onions, place in crock pot.
• Put remaining ingredients in crock pot.
• If you don't want very thick pumpkin soup, add some water (careful - crock pots don't lose much water).
• Turn crock pot to auto - I usually either put it on before I go to bed for the next morning, or when I get up in the morning for that evening's meal.
• Pumpkin and potatoes should be very soft when ready for the next step.
• Using either a blender or a hand held barmixer, blend until very smooth.
• Serve with crusty bread, topped with grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
• This soup freezes very well, and lasts a decent length of time in the fridge. I do find that it will need some water added if you freeze or refrigerate it.
• For Vegetarian use only the Vegetable broth.

• Remove from heat, let cool, and grind together to a powder (an electric coffee grinder works well for this); set aside.
• Pour the stock, half and half, and evaporated milk into the crock pot; stir well, cover, and turn on high.
• Put the pureed pumpkin into a large bowl, then add the maple syrup, salt, and the now-powdered spice mixture; use a whisk to incorporate the mixture well.
• Add the pumpkin mixture to the liquids in the crock pot, whisking it well to make sure there are no lumps.
