Cream of Pumpkin Soup - 15.6g Carbs, 2.9g Fiber

From: Fiona Haynes, About.com

This luscious, velvety cream of pumpkin soup tastes anything but low
fat. The secret to the creaminess is evaporated fat-free milk, which
is stirred into the soup just a few minutes before serving. Enjoy
this soup for lunch on a cold fall or winter's day. The beauty of
this cream of pumpkin soup, apart from being low fat, is that it's
quick and easy to make.

Fall is the perfect time to bring out the stockpot and make warming
soups. This low fat cream of pumpkin soup is perfect on a cold fall
day, or as an appetizer for a Thanksgiving dinner. A spoonful of
plain low fat yogurt can be swirled in just before serving.
