Curried Pumpkin Soup

The combination of orange juice, pumpkin and curry powder gives this soup a creamy consistency and rich flavour.  But the best part is that it's low in sodium: per serving, this soup contains about one-third as much sodium as most commercial soups.

Using less broth - or in this case less bouillon cubes - and more spices results in a soup that has plenty of flavour without the added sodium.

Tip: This recipe calls for soymilk, which can be substituted with 1% or skim milk.  Add the milk at the end of cooking to prevent it from curdling.  This soup also freezes well, handy to have on hand for brown-bag lunches or a warm meal when you're in a hurry.
