ISO - Pumpkin Soup Recipe - DFen911 - 11-15-2010
So every year I try and introduce my family to something new. They are not adventurous at all when it comes to food.
This year I've decided it will be pumpkin soup. Does anyone have a tried a true recipe? I don't want to experiment at this point because my time is very limited.

Denise, I love pumpkin soup, so I have two. The first one is an indulgence, as you will see by the recipe. Definately needs to be served in small portions to start a meal. The second one is a weight watcher recipe that is surprisingly good and one that I like to have for lunch in the winter. I always blend it until it's smooth, but you don't have to if you like your soup to be chunky.
For the first one, if you are worried about the amount, you might want to cut it in half for testing. I have also played with the recipe at times and used less butter, and fat-free 1/2&1/2. If you happen to like curry, these recipes are tasty with curry powder.
