WOW!!! Excellent! Used a pound of 'hot' sausage (no andouille) and it was SPICY (but grand). Not sure what 1.5 pounds of pumpkin is, but I used 4 cups and it had great flavor. No praline liqueur, but spiced rum added a great scent and flavor. Did cut back on the stock to only 4 cups (we like our soup thick) and used 8oz. evap. milk in place of the heavy cream. Used another reviewer's suggestion of topping with sour cream and loved it, though hubby preferred without. We found the flavor to be even better the next day. This was AWESOME soup and a recipe that I will definitely make again!

This has become my favorite fall soup. We made it for an OktoberFest party and it was a big hit. I used Chourico sausage which I liked better than the Andouille and Kaluah works well if you don't have praline liqueur. Also there is no need to puree - the lumps are good.

I doubled the recipe for work and everyone LOVED it. I used a half lb. andouille sausage and half lb. sweet Italian sausage to keep it from being too spicy-hot for my work colleagues. I also used Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) since I didn't' have any praline liqueur. The taste of the soup was good before I pureed it, but after I pureed it and added the cream it was phenomenal. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent soup! We loved it. I used whole milk instead of cream and left out the brown sugar as well as the praline liqueur since I now live in Germany and couldn't find it here.

This is an incredible recipe. It warms you up inside and tastes the way a fall soup should, pure comfort. I didn't add the liquer, just extra chicken stock. I couldn't have been happier. I shared this at a church gathering and had many compliments. This will deffinately become a fall favorite in our house.

Omigosh - this IS the best. We had pumpkin soup in France a few years ago and I've been looking for a similar recipe. The only additions I made were 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice stirred in while simmering, and a good dollop of sour cream with some sprinkled on chives when serving. Who needs dessert?

I made this on Thanksgiving and everyone raved about it. I used a little more cream than the reciped called for, adding it a little at a time while the soup simmered.

Extraordinary soup!!! Allrecipes staff: Please highlight this in a future email. It was terrific. I didn't bother pureeing anything because my husband liked "the chewiness" of the andouille. I also upped the amount of andouille to one pound and added additional heavy cream. I do think it is better served immediately and not the next day. It lost a little something when I had it for lunch. Also, I will reduce the amount of brown sugar -- don't think that will hurt it one bit to go to 1/3 cup or 1/4 cup.

I loved it! My husband did not, he's not fond of pumpkin. I thought it was amazing, made great work lunches and I recommend you try it.

I've been looking for a pumpkin soup that will appeal to both me & hubbie (who is not big on veggies) - this one fit the bill perfectly. He loved this soup, and we even shared the leftovers with my mom for lunch, who also loved it. We used spicy sausage that we had on hand which provided a little kick to the recipe, and partially pureed it (not completely smooth). Taste & texture were wonderful. Thanks for the reciep!
