Easy Gourmet Pumpkin Soup

Unbelievably easy and tasty. 

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon butter
1 lb sugar pumpkin - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 cm cube pieces
1 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cups chicken broth (or water)
sour cream (or heavy cream)

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. 

2. Add the pumpkin, brown sugar to the butter; cook and stir until the pumpkin caramelizes, 6 to 10 minutes. 

3. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture; bring to a boil, and cook until the pumpkin is tender, about 15 minutes more.

4. Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a towel; start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Process in batches until smooth.

5. Garnish each portion of soup with 1 teaspoon of sour cream or heavy cream.
