Pumpkin / Squash Soup - Version 2 - Maple Syrup - Touch of Sweet

I took the yummy squash soup recipe from Mendy Scott and made some edits.

If you can't find the Pumpkin, you can use butternut squash or other squash. Have fun experimenting.

Version 2: Maple Syrup- Touch of Sweet

Ingredients
1 Whole Pumpkin Cooked - instructions below (Squash kind of pumpkin, not the jack-o-lantern kind. The color will be the same as a butternut squash. We purchased them at local green houses in Oct.)
1/2 Onion Chopped
2 Cups of Chicken Stock
Cream
Lump of Butter/Margarine/Earth's Balance
Maple Syrup (I used Three Rivers Farm Premium Cinnamon Maple Syrup, Link Below) - Pour to Taste
All Spice Seasoning to taste
Optional: Cinnamon and Sea Salt
Follow the instructions below on cooking the pumpkin and making the soup.

1. Stab the pumpkin several times, make sure it goes all the way through
2. Put the whole pumpkin on a cooking sheet

1. Saute the onion in a little oil
2. Add the cook pumpkin, chicken broth (more if necessary) and seasoning
3. Puree the pumpkin with a hand mixer, food processor or blender
