I would not consider this soup a pumpkin soup, that is why I gave it 3 stars. I thought it tasted more like potato soup with a hint of pumpkin. Even after adding more pumpkin and spices, I couldn't turn the flavor more towards a pumpkin flavor. Because I thought I was making pumpkin soup, I couldn't get over the disappointing taste. I might try this recipe again one day, skip the pumpkin and pumpkin spices all together and make it a potato soup, with cheese, bacon and sour cream.

I found this to be a simple recipe to follow and everyone who had some said it was fantastic!

I thought this recipe was pretty good, but didn't taste like pumpkin at all. I think the potatoes dominated the flavor. Next time, I'll add more pumpkin or less potatoes. Plus, maybe a little extra nutmeg and salt. Overall though, it was good. Since I'm mostly vegan, I used vegan butter, veggie broth, soy milk, and bac'n in place of the animal products. Since I didn't have soy sour cream on hand, I used regular. I will definately be making this again!

this was amazing!!! i subbed one cup on the milk, for cream of mushroom soup (the low-fat kind) and one cup fat-free half and half because i was out of milk and it was soo good! i also made this because i was trying to get rid of some leftover canned pumpkin and i didn't feel like cleaning the blender so i just mashed the potato. i also wanted some chunks of potato but i only had one of the big brown ones (i'm awful with names) so i also added some chunks of the smaller red ones. i didnt feel like the spices were enough so i tried to add some more nutmeg and it tasted really weird and sweet, so next time i think i'll sub the nutmeg with paprika. i also added a bunch more salt and pepper, and also added some ginger. this was so healthy, and next time to make it even more low-carb, i might do as another reviwer said, and sub the potato for sweet potato! i served this with cheese, but none of the garnish because it was unhealthy, and i didn't have some ingredients and it was sOOO GOOD!!!! thank you!!!!

I've been searching for a pumpkin soup recipe and I feel that I have hit the jackpot with this one. I had never cooked with pumpkin before but I followed the recipe which was easy and each step took me closer to the end. The sour cream mix with parsley and bacon completed the dish. It was mouth watering!!! My husband who is very finicky about food ate his whole bowl and wanted more. THANK YOU so much for submitting this recipe!

I didn't have any onions around... and I used a sliced & peeled sweet potato instead of the white potatoes. Works OK if you just puree with a hand mixer. I added kielbasa (had no bacon) and ginger (just for the heck of it) and it is FANTASTIC.

This is EXACTLY the pumpkin soup recipe I was looking for! It's not too pumpkiny and not too potatoey, although I may have added a little more potatoes than the recipe called for. I gave it 5 stars based on easiness, taste and texture (not too thick, but not thin either). I followed the recipe exactly. My only difference was I didn't put the sour cream/bacon mixture on top (just because I didn't have any on hand) and I added croutons. And it was BETTER the next day! Like I said, this was to MY liking. I think it's a great recipe and I will defintely make it again! Thanks so much for this delish soup, Emmi! Two thumbs up!
