Cream of Pumpkin Soup

It is a long time I did not do any soup recipes. Here is a very simple one. I found this one on Jamaicans.com

INGREDIENTS :

• 2 tbs. butter
• 3 tbs. flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cups boiled pumpkin (1lb.)
• 1 tsp. sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD:

1. Melt butter and fry onion in it.
2. Add flour, salt, pepper and sugar and cook well.
3. Add milk slowly, stirring so butter and flour are well blended with milk.
4. Stir until smooth and thickened. Combine pumpkin with mixture, stir well. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve hot.
5. Serves 4. The cream of pumpkin soup tends to get very thick, you can add a bit more milk if that happens.
