I second that. The other evening we had dinner at the Museum of Art in Raleigh
and I had warm pumpkin soup with pesto topping as well as a pumpkin creme
brulee that was marvelous....knew better than to ask for recipe but if anyone
can approximate will be watching.
TIA,
Judith

You'll second WHAT? It usually helps if you quote what you're
replying to. *Not* the entire post, just what you're talking about.

Unless you want to g to the work of finding a pumpkin, cleaning it out
cooking it and then scraping out the flesh you are going to need a can of
pumpkin, and almost every brand of pumpkin has a recipe right on the side
of the can. It's basically egg, brown sugar and cream (or condensed
milk or whole milk or combinations thereof) with some cinnamon, nutmeg
and / or allspice and a can of pumpkin. A little rum or brandy is nice in
it too.

From the American Heart Association Quick & Easy Cookbook

16 oz. can plain pumpkin
10-1/2 oz. can low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper*
dash of ground nutmeg
12 oz. can evaporated skim milk
1/4 c. lowfat sour cream
1 Tbs. toasted pumpkin seeds (optional; garnish)

In medium saucepan combine pumpkin, broth, salt, onion powder (you may use
finely minced onion), pepper and nutmeg. Cover over medium-high heat until
bubbly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in evaporated skim
milk. Heat through, about 5 minutes, but do not boil. Spoon into 4 bowls
to serve and garnish with a dollop of non-fat sour cream and pumpkin seeds
if desired.

*This recipe isn't at all spicy; I use cayenne pepper to punch it up. You
may also add some curry powder if you wish.

I think any squash tastes better with curry (and pumpkin is a squash)
