"Newspaper" Pumpkin Soup

Every recipe most likely has a story, from an experience of making it, first memory/thought of tasting it, or something else memorable like that. I call this Newspaper Soup. Why? because my mom had clipped it out of a newspaper, and glued it to an index card. I really really liekd the soup, and i couldn't remember what it was called, or what it was made out of, but i did remember that it was on a newspaper type of paper on an index card. So I called it newspaper soup. Here it is!

"Newspaper" Pumpkin Soup                   Makes 6 cups
1 c. onion
1/2 c. celery, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 t. salt
3 c. vegetable/mushroom broth
1 3/4 c. pumpkin
1 c. unsweetened almond milk
Saute the onion, garlic and celery in a sauce pan on medium or high. I like to saute in water instead of oil. Add salt and cook for about a minute. Add the broth, letting it simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin and milk. Cook for 5 more minutes. Let it cool for  a bit, and then put in a blender and blend until you can't see the celery. Reheat on the stove and serve warm.
You can put green onions or daiya cheese on it. Cornbread goes really nice with it too.
