3 tb Olive oil

      1    Clove garlic, mashed

  1 1/2 c  Chopped onion

      1    Large apple, peeled/chopped

      1 tb Curry powder

      2 c  Pumpkin puree

      4 c  Chicken broth

      1 c  Milk (I use 2% milk)

           Salt and pepper
  Heat olive oil in 6 qt. saucepan. Saute garlic, onion and apple. Stir
  in curry powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add
  pumpkin and broth, bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce
  heat and simmer about 30 minutes. Puree all in blender or food
  processor. Return to saucepan and stir in milk. Season with salt and
  pepper to taste. Serves 6-8.
  I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet a chopped carrot could be added
  also.
