I am shocked at the ratings for this recipe. It tasted like weak beef gravy. There were very little solids in the soup. It needed much embellishment to get it to taste like anything. I don't think I will try it again.

LOVED IT! I used fresh pumpkin puree and omitted the sherry vinegar altogether. I also used bacon instead of ham. Cooking the bacon in the very beginning and keeping some of the fat to cook the onions and garlic. It is freaking amazing! Even got my overly critical mother to say it was great and one of a kind!

Yuk. I think it probably needs chicken broth instead of beef broth. Very weird combo.

DELICIOUS! Corn is not in the list of ingredients but I saw it in the picture so I added it in. My husband HATES pumpkin! Loves to grow them. hate to eat it. He even liked this soup! You cannot taste the pumpkin in it. We had it as one of our pre-Thanksgiving meals. We raise turkeys and had lots of people picking up their turkey and trying this soup. It was a big hit!

I'm giving it an extra star for the benefit of the doubt, because I had to make this vegetarian (so veggie broth and no ham)....but it was really bland. Definitely add your own seasonings. I did like that it was a savory pumpkin soup that didn't make use of the usual pumpkin seasonings (nutmeg, etc.) and I've been inspired to try adding pumpkin next time I make chili, so I appreciate that! But I won't make this again. Thanks anyway, though!

One word - Amazing!!! Normally I'm not a huge fan of soup, but my husband loves it. It's getting chilly out so I thought I'd give it a try with our sandwiches the other night. Oh, my goodness - so GOOD!! Even my kids ate it and loved it! Thanks to this recipe, I've been officially converted to a soup eater. In my opinion, you HAVE to add the ham or the soup would miss the mark. I thought that it would throw the flavor off, but I was very wrong. It came out perfect. I used rice vinegar and added a just a dash of cumino. We had leftovers so I brought it to friends and family - everyone asked for the recipe. This soup is even better as leftovers. Definitely will be keeping this recipe. Awesome, thanks for sharing. It's my new favorite go to for chilly fall days!!!

My family is in love with this soup! It reminds me of an expensive soup at a nice restaurant. We'll be having this at least once a month during these cold months.
