Thanksgiving Soup or Sweet Potato Pancakes with sausage. Waiting for Ashley to tell me which she wants. She's not going to be here tonight. So it depends on which she's willing to miss out on.

I am making this soup using turkey broth instead of vegetarian broth. Roxanne's mention of turkey clubs sounded so good that I think we will have those on the side. The little bit of turkey that is left will go into the freezer until Ron gets back from hunting. That's when I make his mom's famous homemade noodles in turkey broth.

Spicy Miso and Pumpkin Soup

This comes from Delicious Living and this is what they say: "Sweet and spicy, this thick soup uses a white miso base for flavor and nutrition. Serving tip: Present as an elegant start to any meal. For a more substantial soup, add cooked white beans and a handful of baby spinach leaves just before serving. "

1 Tbs olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 cup water
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp white pepper
1 cup plain soymilk
3 Tbs white miso
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf
roasted soybeans, for garnish

1. In a medium pot, heat oil and sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes.

2. Add pumpkin purée, broth, water, cayenne pepper, and white pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for 5 minutes.

3. Add soy milk and miso; cook for 1 minute more (do not boil).

4. Transfer soup to a food processor and purée until smooth.

5. Add basil and purée for 30 seconds. Adjust seasonings to taste.

6. Serve hot, sprinkled with soy nuts.

Servings: 6

Total splurge tonight. Picked up a 6 oz filet at the market then went to a seafood place and got a 13 oz lobster tail and two clusters of the biggest snow crab legs I've ever seen. Crab legs for me, surf and turf for him.

Hey Daphne, since you're going to Barbara's, can I have your sweet potato pancakes? I've never had any before and they sound delicious.

Today I'm making chicken parmesan for dinner. We just don't feel like going out.

This soup is absolutely delicious! It's pretty spicy so for those who don't like heat, I would leave out the red pepper and maybe just use the white pepper. It's really nice for a starter, but when I reheat the rest tomorrow, I think it would be good with a few beans and some spinach as mentioned by the author.
