10 Stars! I loved this! (Not exactly a kid favorite, but wonderful for adults.) I made it without a bell pepper and only whole milk-instead of cream and we didn't feel like it was missing a thing. Unlike some reviewers, we really liked the chunky tomatoes and would not suggest using a blender. If you are making the soup for the main part of the meal, keep in mind that it really only makes enough for 2-3 large bowls. After having this for dinner with sub sandwiches, I made this soup again and froze it in freezer bags for another tasty meal! A new favorite!

No offense to Grandma, but there was nothing special about this soup. It was ok to my family and I might make it again. I made a healthier version with cubed ham and Vitamin D Milk. I wouldn't think these substitutions would make a huge difference in taste. I'd consider adding some green onions, a chicken boullion cube, and melting in a block of low-fat cream cheese next time.

This was a nice change to try and I will make it again. I made a slightly different version: 4 cups chicken stock & 2 cups chicken boullion, 1/2 cup vitamin D milk instead of whipping cream (to make it lower fat) & 2 small cans of pumpkin. Even when using the canned pumpkin, be sure to blend in the blender. It helps the onion blend into the soup and not be so chunky. This seems like a great recpe to freeze in a freezer bag, so I did! :)
