Pumpkin Cream Soup served in a Bread Bowl

Ingredients (serves 4-6, depending on size of bread):

1 15 ounce can of pumpkin
2 cups of chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4-6 4 inch diameter individuals bread (I used sourdough)
basil for garnish

Preparation:

Take each bread and slice across the top to create a bowl, about an inch down. Scoop out the dough leaving about 1/4 inch. You can use those pieces for dunking in your soup. Set onto plates.

In a pot add the chicken stock, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Gently whisk to incorporate the ingredients until almost boiling under a medium low heat. Add the cream and mix through. Ladle into the bread bowls and garnish with basil.
