Pumpkin Soup


As promised, I am going to post some of my pumpkin recipes. If you cooked a
pumpkin, just use the pureed pumpkin in the recipe. If not, you can use canned, just make sure and not buy pumpkin for pies, it is different then just the plain canned pumpkin.

This is a delicious soup that your family will love. It is great for Thanksgiving dinner, or for a fall party. Serve it in a hollowed our gourd or pumpkin for a nice display.

Once you know the basics of this soup, play around with different spices according to taste. I like to add a little cayenne pepper for a nice kick. Some like to add some brown sugar, nutmeg, ginger, or even curry. I also like to top it with a couple roasted pumpkin seeds YUM!

I like mine a little on the thick side, so I blended with a hand blender. It also was easier then transporting back and forth to a regular blender, and easier to clean up too :)

I would love to hear from you. Enjoy!
