Lois's Soup

PUMPKIN SOUP--It's "soup weather," and we're beginning to see pumpkin in the stores. As a matter of fact, a lot of them will be carved up for halloween next weekend. My friends have been making pumpkin bread and muffins and such for weeks now. I decided to try making soup--something I've not done with pumpkin before. It seems that pumpkin curry soup is quite popular right now, but we're not too fond of curry in our household. I decided to add my own choice of seasonings, and we loved the dish that emerged from the kitchen. The ingredients are estimates at this point as I didn't measure.

1 small can pumpkin puree

1 can coconut milk

2 T diced green chilies

1 vegetable stock cube

Scattering of celery seed

Garlic powder

Ground ginger

Ground cumin

Pinch of turmeric

1/2 pound leftover minced turkey cooked
