This curried pumpkin soup is warm and comforting. The spicy curry is mellowed by the sweet pumpkin and the apple.

Although this soup is great on its own, the real star of this show are the maple and ginger caramelized onions. Please don't leave the onions out of the soup.

Like a lover or a best friend, it wouldn't be the same without them.

This curried pumpkin soup is easy enough to make on a chilly weekday evening but will hold its own at the start of a dinner party. Last year at Thanksgiving we carved out fourteen mini pumpkins and ladled the soup into them.

The presentation was well worth the work. Today I sit at my table, surrounded by paperwork, eating the same soup. The presentation isn't so pretty, but the soup is just as satisfying. Well, it's almost as satisfying; I love the presentation, and if I had a mini pumpkin on hand I'd probably hollow it out and ladle my soup into it. Just for fun.

In the past, I've made this soup with almond milk instead of regular milk and it has turned out great. This time when I pulled the milk from the fridge it had turned lumpy and sour. Needless to say that milk went down the drain, and 3 cups of water went into the soup. It still turned out great, so I will probably leave the milk out next time to make this already healthy recipe a little more healthy.
