Easiest Ever Pumpkin Soup with Alphabet Pasta

Another Lisa Barnes recipe. We were so full, even days after Christmas, that we wanted to make things easy and light. This recipe took five minutes to put together. I changed up the recipe a bit, including replacing the applesauce with Pear Puree because I am trying to use up the baby food that I still have in the freezer, now that C has moved on to big kid foods! I also topped each bowl with a scoop of sour cream to make it even richer. I also doubled it so it would feed the four of us with leftovers (the recipe below makes only 2 1/2 cups.)  It was fantastic. And easy. So Rachel, this one is for you :-)

You need:

1 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. onion, finely diced
1 c. canned pumpkin
2 c. chicken broth
1 tbsp. applesauce or Pear Puree
1/8 tsp. allspice
1/8 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 c. alphabet noodles

In a saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and cook until wilted and translucent. Add pumpkin, broth, applesauce, and spices. Bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Top with sour cream, if desired.
