Simple Succotash

Place oil in a 2-quart pan. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until tender; stir frequently. Whisk in broth, pumpkin, curry powder, allspice, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and Splenda; mix well. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low-medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15–20 minutes. Whisk in evaporated skim milk and return to a simmer. If a smooth consistency is desired, transfer soup to a blender or food processor (in batches, if necessary), cover, and blend until smooth. Serve warm.
