Made this soup for Teacher Appreciation Day. They LOVED it. The croutons were great. One person thought it was missing something but could not figure out what. Maybe smokey liquid? Remember, it's cream of pumpkin soup. With that in mind, this recipe hits the mark. Would make it again.......

Great on a cold fall night. I agree with adding about a palmful of brown sugar and about double the pumpkin pie spices. Yummy and comforting!

I used this as a baseline because it seemed to be the most popluar but it was bland.Not wanting to throw it out I sauteed 3 shallottes in butter, omitted the ginger in hopes of a more savory taste and added sea salt,cracked pepper and some smokey habanero sauce.Served with warm crusty bread and honey butter,it was something.

Great soup, I added 1/2 cup of brown sugar but that was too sweet. Definitely will make it again but with less brown sugar.

I made this for my family and they love it!!! The BEST pumpkin soups Ever! So creamy are good! The one thing thought I have to say is it was a little bland at first so to add a little more salt, and to add a little bit of sugar!

A great starter soup, not sure if I could just sit and eat a large bowl for a meal but very tasty! I didn't try the toast but will next time. I doubled the cinn. and ginger, also added a pinch of nutmeg, 2T of brown sugar and 1/8t of garlic pwder. This was very quick and a great fall soup

Absolutely Awesome. I added some cubbed ham and omitted the salt for a little extra protein - the perfect fall soup!

This is an excellent soup. I love the croutons; they add so much! I've made this a number of times, and the only thing I change is the type(s) of pumpkin I use. I usually steam my own, either baking pumpkins or kabocha. Also, depending upon how much I want to health it up, I change the cream to half&half or milk, or a combination of the two.

I did this as the recipe stated but had to add ingredients at the end. It needed more flavoring for me. I added brown sugar and more spices.

This was good! The reason I didn't rate this 5 stars is b/c the "croutons" got super soggy in the soup and turned to mush and that was unappetizing. I ended up fishing them out and then just dipping the whole bread in it...which was a lot better! Soup had great flavor and crouton bread was delicious!!!

3 1/2 stars - Right ingredients, but not in the right quantities. I added extra pumpkin puree, about 1.5x the amount of spices in the recipe, nutmeg, and .25x the salt. Instead of whipping cream, I used whole milk. I didn't want it to be too thick.

Yummy! And the kids ate it! I was in a hurry. Did not make the croutons. And needed to soften the onions more so they would puree smoothly. Did what other readers suggested and added some brown sugar, and used pumpkin pie spice and doubled the amt in recipe. Will make again.

I love this recipe. I have made it twice now. The only thing I changed was adding white sugar to it. For some reason I have always associated pumpkin with a sweet taste. It was excellent. I also recommend doubling the sugar spread for the toast because it seemed hard to spread over as many slices as the recipe calls for. This is perfect for a crisp fall day.

The soup was very flavorful and was a nice addition to fall recipes. I ended up using a can of pumpkin pie filling instead and will probably go with the unsweetened pumpkin next time. I also made this recipe before and included onion but ended up with chunks of onion instead. This time I used onion powder to give it the flavor without the chunks and it was still very good.

Awesome! I followed all reviewer suggestions. Next time I will go ahead and use the heavy whipping cream instead of half & half to make it creamier. Hubby said it was not "thick" enough. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

I read as many of the reviews as I could and I did add brown sugar and doubled the spices and added nutmeg. I also used half n half instead of the heavy whipping cream. This recipe was just OK...I was hoping it would be GREAT. It does need something...just don't know what it is! But I would make it again and just try to play with the ingredients a little. If you're interested, I would still say you try this recipe. It's good and is unique for a chilly fall evening!

After the 1st time making it, the 2nd time I made a bunch of changes & it came out soooo yummy - reminded me of Thai food! For the soup base: omitted the onion & broth, simmered the pumpkin with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, dbl all the spices plus adding 1/4 tsp of cayenne & nutmeg. Tasted as I spiced it up & lastly added whipping cream & then stored in fridge for 2 days. Day of serving: softened 3 very small onions, then added broth, chopped 1/2 red bell pepper & 1 small yam covered until cooked, then cooked chicken tenders & chopped after cooked thru. Once everything was cooked through I added the pumpkin base. Delicious over rice too.

Upon reading other reviews I altered the soup recipe. These are my changes: only 1 can of low sodium chicken broth, 1 c half and half instead of cream, 3 tbsp margerine, 1 tsp cinnamon, almost a whole tsp of ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cayanne pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 c light brown sugar, do not add salt until you try the soup, salt and black pepper to taste. Instructions: melt margerine in sauce pan, sautee onion until clear, add garlic, cayanne and other spices, add chicken broth, add pumpkin, add cream and sprinkle in brown sugar. Simmer down to desired thickness. I didn't puree the onions, although I think it would be better if I did; I didn't have my blender available due to a kitchen remodel. I also didn't make the crutons, due to a limited kitchen. This recipe was VERY easy, tastey and filling.
