"It&amp;#039;s 4 p.m. and you&amp;#039;re thinking: What the heck am I going to make for dinner tonight?! We&amp;#039;ve all been there. And that&amp;#039;s why I&amp;#039;m going to share my top-secret Easiest-Ever Pumpkin Soup recipe with you. This simple, comforting meal is a real lifesaver when you&amp;#039;re short on time (or feeling lazy) \u2014 it&amp;#039;s ready in five minutes and a hundred times tastier than soup from a can. Forget any chopping or blending: Just warm grated onions in olive oil, then mix in pumpkin puree, chicken broth, spices and a little cream until it simmers. That&amp;#039;s it! If you don&amp;#039;t want to use cream, feel free to swap in half-and-half or a little greek yogurt at the very end (add it off of the heat, so it doesn&amp;#039;t curdle).  If you have a spare minute and feel like getting snazzy, top the soup with parsley and freshly ground pepper. Or toss in a handful of packaged croutons or sprinkle on some pumpkin seeds. In fact, top this soup with whatever you want! Bacon? Snipped Chives? Toasted walnuts? It&amp;#039;s your easy dinner, you decide. Here&amp;#039;s how you make it...
