MY PUMPKIN AND BARLEY SOUP
Great the first day, even better on the second. I love pumpkin soup and I made this hearty version. Serve with some crusty bread for a real, stick to your bones meal! You can of course make this from fresh pumpkin, but canned is a lot easier and can be found year-round in the baking aisle. Feel free to alter paprika, dill, garlic powder, and salt to taste.

Steps:
- Heat water in a large pot on the stove. Add the can of pumpkin and bring to a boil.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Feel free to add/reduce the spices as you wish.
- Simmer soup for approximately fifteen minutes or until the celery and onion are getting soft. If the mix seems to thick, add more water because the instant barley will have absorbed a lot of it.
- Serve either straight as it is, or garnish with some fresh dill and/or sour cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin, also known as a pie pumpkin, which is smaller and sweeter than other varieties.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is a key ingredient in pumpkin soup, so make sure to use a broth that has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: Pumpkin soup is best when it is slightly chunky, so don't overcook it.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings: Pumpkin soup is delicious on its own, but it can also be garnished with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, croutons, or roasted pumpkin seeds.
