Spicy Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients:
1 cup chicken broth
1 can, 15 ounces pumpkin puree
1/4 cup milk(whatever you have, no fat, 1%, vitamin D)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tsp garlic powder
pinch of salt and pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes(optional, and definitely could be more)

heat butter on low in soup pot, when melted add all ingredients, bring to a boil, lower heat and let simmer for 30 minutes stirring often.

This soup is great because its easy, its flavorful and pumpkin is so nutritious.  It is low in saturated fats, low in cholesterol, and sodium and a good source of vitamin E, fiber, vitamin A, C and K.  Also an excellent source of beta carotene.
