It’s amazing when two ingredients intertwine so perfectly, that regardless of how hard the palate may try, it can’t coax them apart. That’s what happens to the applesauce and pumpkin purée in this sweet and savory soup. Read more . The pumpkin gives substance to the apple; the apple makes the pumpkin sweet and tangy. Eaten together, they become a totally new taste sensation - and a great way to fit fruit and veggies in! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot |
1 can (15 ounces) 100% pumpkin purée |
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) unsweetened applesauce |
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) chicken broth |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 teaspoon apple-cider vinegar |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 small, dried chile pepper |
pinch ground nutmeg |
salt and ground white pepper, to taste |
1/2 cup sour cream or fresh cream |
