I made this soup with a fresh pumpkin, I cut into half, deseeded and rubbed with melted butter, then baked for about 40 minutes until golden. I scooped out the pumpkin and and combined with the broth. I also added a cut up and roasted ruderbager for a extra bite of flavor as pumpkin is a very lightly flavor vegetable once baked. I had my doubts about the flavor when I first made this soup. I made in the morning and reheated it that evening and all the flavors had blended together. It was wonderful.

Completely awesome! I used a block of cream cheese instead of the cream (that's what I had in the house at the time), which worked ok, but I'm making it again tomorrow with cream and am looking forward to it. This is a hit!

This did not work at all for me. It was way too thick, with pumpkin being the only flavor. I ended up making a lot of changes last minute. I adding at least another carton of broth, some brown sugar and an entire pint of half and half. Once everything was said and done, I got a lot of compliments. The small pieces of garlic and onion were wonderful. I will make this again. But with the changes mentioned.
