I just tried to cancel my land line. The company said I have to pay 200 dollars to cancel unless I hold out until june 2010. I an 100 % positive I never gave them the 2 year commitment that they claim I did, an certainly not for this goofy plan with features I dislike. I remember what I signed up for and they have me on something else all together. I think their sales man lied to me. Any way, it will cost me $210.00 to keep the stupid phone, so I will keep it. Dang. I won't be using Frontier ever again.

this is the pumpkin soup I just made. Tony said it's the best pumpkin soup ever. We haven't had it since last fall, and I always improvise as I go, but I have to say it was good.

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp crushed garlic

1/4 cup diced onions

1 veggie burger

1 large can of unsweetened pumpkin

4 cups broth (I usually use chicken, but just made some turkey stock and used it)

sage, salt, and pepper to taste

Saute the onion and then the garlic in the olive oil. heat up the garden burger in the oil and chop into small pieces. stir in broth and pumpkin and heat all the way through. Salt and pepper to taste. I use lots of salt and pepper and you probably don't want to add the tablespoons I add. I used about 1/4 tsp of sage. I can't taste it, but I know Tony likes it. (It is a fragrance, not a flavor) Today I served it with crackers, but sometimes I add milk or better yet half and half to make a rich creamy soup.

I often add a veggie burger to my soups. It is my way of tricking my son into eating veggies and is always seasons the soup nicely. the texture is like ground beef and they are fooled. I always have them in the house because I like them better than meat burgers. But I have made this soup without the veggie burger and it is almost as good.
