After feeling awful yesterday morning I needed some light comfort food to keep my tummy happy happy…
I cleaned up the house a bit, dusted and cleaned the kitchen (cooking is always better with a clean kitchen)
I got the pumpkin in from outside cut and roasted it and then pureed it…
Then I made an amazing Vegetable Chowder… a variation of a recipe that I got on Recipezaar (I add a lot more seasonings and more veggies and broccoli instead of peas and not as much dairy) and we ate that with some of my sourdough bread…
I started to fill some mason jars with pumpkin puree when I remembered a recipe that I had “stumbled” on a few days ago…
So easy to make and SO delicious!
One batch made 4 jars worth…
and of course while it was still warm I had to scoop a bit on some vanilla ice cream…
There should be a warning on this post to not read while hungrily waiting for breakfast (apple pancake) to bake in the oven. Both the soup and butter look mouth wateringly good!
I’m visiting from NaBloPoMo —
That soup looks stick-to-your-ribs good.
Last year, I came across a Pumpkin Butter recipe at Smitten Kitchen, and wow was it good! So easy and it tastes like autumn in a jar.
hi there- just ambling by. saw your soup- oh my! i am a soup and pumpkin fanatic, so this combo…look out! i read some other posts- the one about you recently going down the path of healthier eating. i started down the path about 6 years ago, and i’m like you, i feel the wrong decisions. my husband teases me, saying i’m like a fine tuned engine…you don’t put the junker gas in those!
mmmmmm i am gonna make some
I made some of the pumkin butter today. Just what I needed to finish left over from Halloween. It is delicious! I planned to send some to a US friends but I fear that won’t last that long!
