Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium apple chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice powder
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large saucepan over medium high heat, and saute onion, apple, and ginger until slightly soft and they turn lightly golden.
  • Add the orange zest, salt, and Chinese 5 Spice powder. Stir for about 20 seconds until the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and chicken stock, and stir well to combine.
  • Cover the soup, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the onion and apples are very tender.
  • Remove the soup from the heat, and with an immersion blender, blend soup until it is completely smooth. You can also use a regular blender if preferred.
  • Let soup cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • When the soup has cooled down, place the yogurt in a measuring cup, and add a full ladle of soup. Stir well to warm (temper) the yogurt. Add the warmed yogurt to the soup and stir well.
  • Taste the soup and add more salt if necessary.
