I made my own pumpkin puree from leftover Halloween pumpkins. Since I made fresh pumpkin puree, I added about 2 T of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to thicken the soup. All I can say is WOW! The croutons made the soup taste like a pumpkin pie and the heavy whipping cream made a rich soup base. Who would have guessed pumpkin soup could taste so good!

this is the very first time i have heard of pumpkin soup! I was interested. i followed in others suggestions of adding more brown sugar along with sprinkling cayenne pepper and basil to taste. The soup turned out great, maybe a little too sweet, but i will make it again! I also topped my bowl off with a scoop of sour cream, that set it off well!

Pretty good, but not a lot of flavor if you dont add in a few of the suggestions. I added cayenne and brown sugar. Helped A LOT!

YUM! But with a few changes. I added about 2 tbsp brown sugar to the recipe and added a little extra cinnamon and some all spice. I blended it lightly so it was still a little "chunky". The cinnamon croutons were a great touch! Perfect fall dinner!

Delicious after I made the changes suggested by others on here. Added a little more cream for a richer soup. Loved it!

Best Pumpkin Soup I've ever made...and I've made a lot. I also doubled the spices and added nutmeg and then paprika to give it a little kick. I've always added root vegetables to my pumpkin soups, normally parsnip and carrot but I only had carrot so I added it to the first stage and boiled until tender. I also added about a cup of corn. I puree until theres still some particles because I like the texture. The corn and carrot ingredients made it naturally sweet and so i lastly drizzled about 1/8 cup of maple syrup in. I did not add any salt as the broth had enough in it. This was delicious and I may have to make a second batch because for my guests because it's all I want to eat tonight hehe. I suggest tasting and tasting and tasting all the way through adding any extra ingredients. This would be nice to garnish with a little heavy cream swirled in or some maple syrup.

I made this recipe as is and my husband and I found it very bland and that is the reason for the 3 star rating. Instead of tossing it I just did a bit of tweaking and now it is one of my fav soups of all time! I added twice the amount of ginger and cinnamon called for making it 1/2 tsp of each. Added 3 TBS of brown sugar and just a couple of dashes of cayenne pepper. Sensational! With the changes I'd give it 5 stars!

Yumm! After reading some reviews I made some changes; First I dont eat meat so I used veggie broth, I Added extra brown sugar, some pumpkin pie seasoning and cayenne pepper. I also used nonfat half and half to cut down on the calories.- when I was done cooking I thought it looked a bit thin so I boiled up a potato then strained it and added to the soup. I think the potato really made it amazing- I think bacon would mae a good addition for you meat eaters, especially with the potato addition.

Seriously delicious - even for pumpkin haters - i.e. my boyfriend. :) I even got paid to make a batch for a friend's Halloween party at work. This recipe is a keeper and one to make each year.

I'm not really liking it! like pp said - I too almost dumped the whole pot in the sink, as it really doens't taste like pumpkin soup I used to have in Germany. I taste too much like pumpkin pie for me at first, BUT if you are patient with it and let it simmer for a while and add other spices to it, it's edible. My husband and I didn't like it that much but it's edible.

Very good! I did salt to taste, but did most of the recipe as it asks. I used boullion cubes instead of broth, and milk instead of cream, but I like a thinner consistency better anyway. A very sweet soup, hence the 4 stars. I may prefer a savory pumpkin soup. I served it with the YUMMY croutons, some avocado and a little chedder cheese, which made it a tad more savory. Try the recipe and make it yours!

Omit salt, add extra cinnamon and pumpkin. Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Forget croutons. Definitely use fresh pumpkin, it creates a great texture. I am now required by my wife to serve this for guests this weekend.

I've never had pumpkin soup before so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I followed the advice of other reviewers and added cayanne pepper. It had a lot of levels of flavor, when I first tasted it, it was like pumpkin pie, then the heat of the pepper added a savory flavor to it. Also, I used 1% milk with just a splash of heavy cream to lighten it a little. For the croutons, I used a whole wheat, day old, bakery loaf and used olive oil, parmesan cheese and a little s&p. i thought the cinnamon croutons would be too much with the salty/peppery flavors. I really enjoyed it. It's not a soup I would eat everyday but it's very tasty and super comforting on a cold autumn day!

I would give this 5 stars but it needs brown sugar (about 2tbs) to sweeten it just a bit. Also I cut the salt in half but that could have been my chicken stock that made it saltier. With these small changes, an excellent recipe!
