Pumpkin Chowder
This creamy pumpkin chowder combines savory diced bacon, tender potatoes, and fresh pie pumpkin for a deeply comforting bowl of soup. A touch of curry powder adds a warm, earthy spice that perfectly balances the rich half-and-half and chicken broth base. It comes together easily on the stovetop, making it a great choice for a cozy weeknight dinner during the crisp autumn months. Serve it hot with toasted pumpkin seeds and sliced green onions for added crunch.
