Szechuan Pumpkin Soup

Another amazing recipe from amazing Auntie Bea! (Almost 86 years old and an major foodie!).

Sauté some onion, garlic, chili flakes and some minced ginger in oil until soft. Add 4 cups (1 L) vegetable broth and 1 cup (250 mL) canned pumpkin purée. Bring to a boil, then lower
to a simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce, 2 tbsp (25 mL) creamy peanut butter, a touch of sugar and a few drops of sesame oil. Blend until smooth, then reheat on low until warm.
