1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 1/2 cup solid-pack pumpkin
2 cans (13.75 ounce size) chicken broth
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup half-and-half or heavy cream

directions

Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and saute a few minutes or until softened but not browned.

Stir in curry powder and crushed red pepper flakes. Add apples and continue cooking for 10 minutes longer.

Add pumpkin, chicken broth and water, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
