This is one of Evin's least favorites, I quite like it and it's very easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 cloves garlic, diced
• 2 small onions, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp curry, 1 tsp turmeric
• salt, pepper to taste
• 4 cups water
• 1 vegetable broth cube
• 1 tbsp chick'n powder or chick'n bouillon
• 1 15 ounce can pumpkin
• 1+ cup(s) favorite pasta sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Saute onions, garlic, mushrooms, carrots and celery in oil until semi-tender.
2. Add flour, curry and turmeric, cooking for a few minutes. (Be sure to not to let flour stick to pot bottom - it *will* burn later.)
3. Add water, pumpkin, pasta sauce (if using), vegetable cube and boullon. Add sauteed veggies, bring to a boil, simmer about 20 minutes.
4. Blend with hand blender until soup reaches desired consistency/texture.
