Golden Pumpkin Soup

1 small to medium sized pumpkin.

3 green onions, finely sliced

2 T. butter

1 c. grated carrot

Remove the seeds and stem from the pumpkin.  Cut the meat into 3” squares.  In a large kettle, cover the pumpkin squares with water and bring to a boil until the pumpkin is soft.  Drain and allow to cool.  Cut off skin.  Use a food processor to mash the pumpkin. 

          Melt butter in a saucepan and put in the carrot, corn and pumpkin.  Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 8 – 10 minutes.  Serve garnished with chopped green onion.

          Note: Skip preparing the pumpkin by using canned pumpkin adding 2 or 3 cups of water.
