Cinnamon Pumpkin Soup Recipe

I found this excellent recipe over at arthritis recipes. Cinnamon is supposed to be very good for arthritis and this is one delicious way to get your daily dosage!

1. 3 tablespoons olive oil
2. 1 cup chopped onion
3. 2/3 cup chopped celery
4. ½ cup thinly sliced leeks
5. ¼ cup unbleached non-wheat flour
6. ½ cup water
7. 8 cups vegetable stock
8. 4 cups cubed pumpkin
9. 1 stick cinnamon
10. 1 cup silken tofu
11. 1 cup soy milk
12. 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
13. 4 cloves garlic, minced
14. 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
15. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
16. ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the onion, celery and leeks and sauté for 7 minutes. Whisk the flour into the water then add it to the pot along with the vegetable stock, pumpkin, and cinnamon stick and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Puree the tofu and soy milk for 3 to 4 minutes and then whisk it into the soup using a hand whisk. Stir in the salt, parsley, cumin, garlic and nutmeg and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Partway through the process it may be necessary to give the soup a short whisk to liquefy any remaining onion, celery, leek or pumpkin pieces.
