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.

Soup was good. Definately needs the croutons or some crusty french bread. I just prefer cream soups with great bread. My 6, 4, and 2 year old loved it.

I love pumpkin and this soup is delicious. It is creamy and smooth and the croutons make this soup perfect for a chilly autumn day or night!

Really lovely spice to this pumpkin soup. I used butternut pumpkin which did't have as much colour as I couldn't get puree and added a little more pepper and less cinnamon. Tasted great!

Delicious! Added some sugar as suggested (I use Sucanat), real raw cream and added a few more spices and it hit the spot! Definitely a keeper!

I got many many great comments when I made this for my cook's meeting. Personally, I thought it was a little bland, and a few others thought the same, but had I doubled the seasonings like others had this soup would have been wonderful. Warm and rich and smooth, and very versatile. You can take this dish in a lot of different directions.

This soup is really wonderful. I used fresh pumpkin instead of canned. I sauted the onion, then added the cubed pumpkin and chicken broth and let it simmer until the pumpkin was tender. I added the cinnamon, ginger, 1/2 tsp of salt, fresh ground pepper and about 2 Tbsp of brown sugar. I pureed and added about a half of a cup of whole milk. Good stuff!

I made this recipe with fresh pumpkin (steamed the pieces first for about 30 min) and then pureed them. We absolutely loved it.

I thought this was a decent base recipe. It needed a lot of stuff added to it. Too bland as is. I doubled the spices, added curry & crushed peppers. I finished off with a dollop of light sour cream.

This soup was perfect for a winter day and had just the right amount of bite to it. Great taste and so easy to make. I do recommend fresh pumpkin over canned if you have a little time to spare. Just peel it, steam it (don't boil it) and either puree it in the blender or mash with a potato masher.

Once I was done this recipe tasted like the pumpkin bisque that I had a couple of times and really liked it. I did follow the advice of the other reviewers, though. I used about half of the onion. I added more cinnamon--two to three teaspoons. I also added a little nutmeg. I added about four tablespoons of brown sugar. I have a bad cold and my tastebuds aren't that good right now. But this sure did hit the spot for someone who has a cold. Oh, the croutons worked out well and were pretty easy to make. Thanks for the recipe.

Delicious! Read other reviews and doubled the spices except for salt. I used low sodium/no msg chicken broth and only added 1/2 tsp salt to the recipe. Also, added 2 TB brown sugar with other spices. This will surely be a staple at our house!
