Lovely soup recipe. I kept the onions kind of chunky because my husband feels like he's eating baby food without some chunks in his soup. I also just did 3 TBS of maple syrup and skipped the brown sugar. It was plenty sweet for us. Used two 15 oz cans of organic pumpkin, and homemade turkey stock. Then I topped it with sour cream rather than adding cream, and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

I have always wanted to try a pumpkin soup. The taste was ok, however, I think it may just have been me. The soup tasted fine up until the addition of the chicken stock and it may have been due to it being homemade (although I always use homemade). I recommend a store bought variety for those who intend to make this. Personally I'm not a big fan of the onion/pumpkin together either.

I live in beautiful central califonia, but grew up in the cold of colorado!! I am an RN, IBCLC and look for food with a typical quick prep, and LOVE my crockpot. I love all types of food, from the fancy to the local taco stand- it's all good and a pet peeve would be the food snobs of the world.
