Excellent soup, and a good way to use up home-cooked pumpkin that came out, well, soupy. I added half each of red bell and poblano peppers simply because I had them, but the soup would have been fine without them.

This is a fantastic soup. I added 1/2 and 1/2 cream because it was what I had on hand, and added approx. 1 1/2 red pepper and freshly graded pepper instead of peppercorns after reading the reviews. I also used dethawed fresh pumpkin i had previously frozen cubed. As a final point , I did puree the pumpkin and garlic prior to adding it to the chicken and vege stock. Excellent!

I prepared as directed except i used canned pumpkin and 2 extra cloves of garlic and it was very bland, i'm not sure what I did wrong.

We do not like this recipe. We used a "Chickenless" stock that has been very, very successful in the past. We followed the recipe. We added the bay leaf and the peanut butter as per the comments suggested. The soup did not taste good. We tried adding various spices and sugar for a pumpkin pie flavour, but that didn't work. By the time we added curry and cumin--our usually successful resuscitation of all soup recipes--it just tasted bad.

I used all ingredients accordingly except significantly reduced the amount of water and simmering time. The first time I made it with the liquid amount in the recipe and it just took way too long to reduce. Pumpkins don't need that much boiling anyways and I thought it retains flavor and nutrition better if not over cooked. I suggest using enough liquid so it's just covering the pumpkins (plus a bit more).

This is great soup! It was the first time I attempted to make Pumpkin soup. I altered it slightly based on other reviews. I added pepper, 4 garlic cloves, a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. The extra pepper and garlic adds a little zing. I didn't add any whip cream to keep the calories down. Very Yummy!
