Overview

Soothing pumpkin soup does not always have to follow a traditional western recipe served at Thanksgiving. Chinese pumpkin soup uses ingredients from the far East to create a satisfying meal with an exotic flavor. Look at international or Asian markets for specialty Chinese ingredients if your store does not carry them.

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a stock pot and heat over medium heat until warmed through.

Step 2

Puree the soup in the blender in batches until smooth.

Step 3

Serve the warm soup in individual bowls, optionally garnished with sliced green onions.

Things You'll Need

28 oz. can pumpkin puree
5 cups vegetable broth
1 cup brewed Ceylon tea
1 tsp. Chinese five spice powder
2 cups frozen corn kernels
Blender
2 green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
