GRANDMOTHER OLIVE'S PUMPKIN SOUP AND PUMPKIN BUTTER

GRANDMOTHER OLIVE'S PUMPKIN SOUP

3 pounds sliced pumpkin
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 Tablespoons butter
pinch of nutmeg
1 1/2 cups milk
grated parmesan cheese
salt
pepper

Peel pumpkin and cut it into pieces.  In pot, cook slowly in vegetable broth with potatoes, butter, nutmeg, and salt until pumpkin and potatoes are soft.  Puree with blender.  Add milk and bring to boil.  Add parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper.  Serve.

GRANDMOTHER OLIVE'S PUMPKIN BUTTER

1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 cup pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 heaping cup powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients together.  Store in jar in the refrigerator.  This will keep for five or six days..

When we use pumpkin butter in our home, I make toast, put butter on it and top with pumpkin butter.
