Pumpkin Soup

“This is excellent if you make special croutons to float in the soup.Butter 4 or more slices of white or whole wheat bread and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Broil for 1-2 minutes. Cut into 1 inch cubes. Enjoy”

“Substitute whole milk for cream, use Knorr’s Vegetable Bouillon cubes instead of vegetable stock.Reduce margarine.”

“Great soup.I used fresh squash, once with acorn squash.Did not use any milk and added some curry.Delicious both times!”

“Delicious and very quick & easy.I liked the unique step of pureeing the onion roux first, then adding the cream, pumpkin, etc.This seemed to provide thickness and lots of great flavor.I did not have veggie broth so I used chicken broth instead.I only had Vidalia sweet onions in the house, and they worked out beautifully in this.I also garnished this with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.”

“I took this to my family’s thanksgiving dinner, where we had over 35 guests, and everyone had to have a taste and loved it.There was already talk of next thanksgiving and continuing the tradition.”

“This was great hit at the thankgiving table – I took a large thrmos of it to my host’s house and those concerned with gaining weight over the holidays loved because it was only 3 WW points.”

“Just made this soup, and it was very good.I did add the garlic as many people suggested, and then once it was done added curry to taste as well.Gave it a bit more “oomph”I will make it again!”

“This was the first time I made pumpkin soup and YUM!I omitted the green onion (none handy) and added a bit more onion (used red onion).I also added curry powder and used low-sodium chicken stock and used equal parts of flour to butter to make a thicker soup.”

“this looks very good i can’t wait to try it.I love pumpkin soups and i’m always looking for the “perfect” recipe.I’m going to make this a couple of times before rating, since I like to make it according to the recipe first, then add variations.Thanks for posting!”

“I have never had Pumpkin Soup before so wasn’t too sure what to expect.I liked this but thought it could use a few more spices so I did put in a 1/4 tsp fresh minced garlic and a dash of curry.It was nice to try something different. Thx Mirj.”

“An awesome soup!!!We loved it! I even forgot to put in the cream and it was fantastic!I did top it with a shake of curry and a shake of nutmeg along with a dollup of sour cream ontop (following all the wonderful suggestions on the reviews.) Which added a wonderful spice.I put it in pumpernickel bread bowls and it was a very fulfilling dinner for my husband who is a bottomless pit. I am bringing this as my dish to Thanksgiving. THANKS!!!”

“Very easy to make. However a little bland. I don’t remember last time I had pumpkin soup so I don’t know what to compare it to. But I will try it again.”

“This is great! I did sauté some garlic along with the onion and topped this soup with cinnamon croutons…..delicious. “

“I made this for lunch on Christmas day, and while I know the holiday season is all about giving and sharing, ain’t nobody getting the leftovers.I hid them.This soup is pure, unadulterated yummy.”

“A very wonderful soup. Perfect before dinner or by itself. I skipped the green onions feeling that was just well a little too much onion. Having no light cream on hand I simply used whole milk. It is not a super pumpkin taste so for people who hate pumpkin it will surely please. For pumpkin lovers it has a great hint of it without over powering, great with fresh bread and salad. Definitely a keeper!!”

“Sorry to change the tide of positive reviews, but this one surprised me with its bland taste.I did substitute olive oil for the margarine, but that should not have detracted much, if at all.”

“Good soup. I had my doubts but love pumpkin so thought I’d give it a try.Glad I did.”
