Pumpkin Soup with Chocolate and Chipotle

Soup with chocolate really sounded like a strange combo. I liked the spiciness in this though, it really brought out the flavors of the pumpkin.

I cheated a bit from the original and just used canned pumpkin rather than roasting my own, but I think it worked out just as well.

This recipe was adapted from Local Kitchen.

Ingredients:

-1 can pumpkin
-1 tsp garlic powder
-3 cups vegetable broth
-1 tsp chipotle
-4 oz chocolate

-option 1 cup cooked rice

Heat all of the ingredients on medium heat for 20 minutes.

Shave the chocolate. I used chili chocolate to
give it some extra heat.

The flavor of this soup was good, but there wasn't a lot of substance the way I originally made it. I added rice when I ate the leftovers, and it was delicious that way.
