Method

In medium saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter. Add mushrooms, broth, rice & seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is cooked. Stir in pumpkin; continue cooking for 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat thoroughly. Serves 4.

 

Notes: The tarragon and sherry give this soup a very unique and mature flavor. It's not sweet by any means.
