1 pound onions, chopped well
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 quart chicken stock
1 (14-ounce) can pumpkin
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons honey (or use 2 envelopes Splenda)
Saute the onions and mushrooms in 1/4 cup of the butter in a large
saucepan until the onions are tender. Transfer the undrained onion mixture
to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup butter in the same saucepan until
melted. Whisk in the stock gradually.
Stir in the onion mixture, pumpkin, curry powder, salt and pepper.
Add the half-and-half and honey and mix well. Cook just until heated
through, stirring frequently. Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish each serving
with a dollop of sour cream and minced fresh parsley. Serve with hot crusty
whole grain French bread.
