Recipes

Sisters,

Here are a few recipes to pass on to you! Hope you enjoy them!

Got the winter blues? This soup is full of warm sunshine and delicious. This is a handed-down recipe to Sandra Packham from her good friend Coye, from her sweet sister Mindy, from her nice land-lady Claudia, from I don't know and so-on.

Pumpkin Curry Soup.... renamed The Sunshine Soup (because it is a bright and happy orange color)

1 tablespoons butter or Smart Balance
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1 1/2 tsp curry powder (I use a little less)
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
3 cups chicken broth
1 15-oz. can 100% pure pumpkin
1 12-oz can evaporated milk

Melt butter in large sauce pan over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently or until tender. Stir in curry powder, salt and pepper. Cook for one minute. Add broth and pumpkin. bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cook stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes. Mix in evaporated milk. Transfer mixture when slightly cooked to food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Serve warm. Optional: Add 1 Tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. (I like both ways.)


Navajo Tacos
