Pumpkin Soup- Super Easy from a Can

"I started making this soup years ago to copy a local restaurants, and after becoming frustrated at attempting to cook my own sugar pumpkins with very mixed and time consuming results!! This soup is from pantry ingredients, saves wonderfully and is always a big hit, even for people who say- Gross! Pumpkin soup!"

  1. 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.
     
  2. Delicious. The only thing I would suggest is to start with a lower amount of sugar and not add more until it simmers for a while. I used the full amount and loved it sweet but dh didn't agree.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. Delicious and super easy to make. Tastes like pumpkin pie, but in soup form.
     
  5. So yummy! And easy to make. I did not need to thicken it, so left out the flour/water. I used fat free 1/2 and 1/2. I also used the hand blender to get rid of any onion "lumps" so the kids wouldn't have a fit.

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.
