• 1 cup cream (half and half works well too!)
• 1 TB honey
• 1 TB curry (or more to taste)
• S&P
• Sour Cream
• Croutons (NOT package - make your own!!)

In soup pot, saute mushrooms in butter and then remove.
In same soup pot, saute onions and then stir in broth, flour and pumpkin and bring to a boil.

Return mushrooms.
