Pumpkin soup

[catsittingstill]

So I have this can of cooked pumpkin mash that has been sitting around the house.  And I was thinking about making pumpkin pie, but, well, hadn't yet.  And I thought "I wonder if you can make pumpkin soup?" and that thought went away before I mustered the gumption to do anything about it.  And a couple of days later I thought "I wonder if coconut milk would be nice in pumpkin soup?"  And that thought went away before I mustered the gumption... and then this afternoon I thunk the thought again and looked it up on the internet and lo and behold people do put coconut milk and pumpkin together in various ways.

So I took two cups of pumpkin mash and a can of coconut milk and stirred the liquid into the mush.  Then I took about a teaspoon each of ginger nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon and stirred them into two tablespoons of sugar and scattered that over the surface and stirred it in.  It's heating now.  We'll see.

Sounds yummy.

I make the pumpkin soup out of Joy. (The only other ingredient I remember from it is ham.)

I have now had a bowl and a half. It is yummy. And very filling. It turns out the pumpkin isn't particularly high in calories but the coconut milk adds a lot. I think there's about 700 calories in the whole pot of soup, meaning I better stop now if I want to have anything else for dinner.

But its soooo good.

I think I have a copy of Joy; I should check that out.
