I must say I'm totally in love with this soup; it's easy and delicious. This recipe means a lot to me; it was the first soup I made for my husband back during our first Christmas together as a couple. It gives me an amazing sense of warmth and love every time I make it for him. This is gonna sound a little cheesy, but he and my baby boy are the best thing to happen to me. They complete me.
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
2 cups of chopped onions

1 1/2 pound of pumpkin
Procedure:
Put the unsalted butter in the saucepan.
Add the olive oil.
Chop the 2 cups of onions.
Cut the pumpkin into cubes.
Set the stove to a medium temperature.
When the olive oil starts to bubble add the chopped onions.
Mix them slowly until it is translucent.
Get the 1 1/2 pounds of chopped pumpkin.

After having it 20 minutes on the stove cooking set it aside.
