Citrus and Pumpkin Soup For Halloween

Here is a perfect treat for dinner on Halloween night. This is a very different spin on the tasty favorite of pumpkin soup. You can choose either oranges or lemons.  The lemons will add more of a tangy taste to the soup while the orange juice will be a bit sweeter and of course the great touch of orange pumpkin flavor.

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 teaspoons packed brown sugar

1 can (14 1/2 fluid ounces) chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 can pumpkin puree
