• 2 1/2 cups pure pumpkin purée
• 1/4 cup chopped onion

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Sauté the onion. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the onion until translucent.
2. Combine the ingredients. Add the chicken broth, pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
3. Simmer to perfection. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
