Pumpkin Soup
Tonight is election night in the US. May there be a clear winner and no recounts.
In other news, the following is the most amazing pumpkin soup recipe I have ever had. (Yes, my picky children ate it happily - well, mostly - and they devour the previous soup recipe.)

- Place all ingredients, except the cream in a large saucepan.**

- Gradually stir in the cream to avoid curdling.
*You may substitute 2 pounds of roasted pumpkin and it will turn out fine with no blisters or cuts from peeling!
**You may saute the onion for a few minutes in a little olive oil, then added the garlic and herbs and sauteed for a bit longer, and then throw the rest of it together, if you wish.
