I was very surprised how creamy the pumpkin makes this soup. It reminded me of a chili so..... I rinsed a can of kidney beans and added it, along with a "handful" of bacon bits...Oh my, I highly recommand this soup.

I made this soup for dinner Halloween night. It was a huge hit. In fact I'm making it again tonight for a family get together. I omitted the cayenne pepper and the jalapeno pepper only for the fact that I didn't want it too spicy for my grandchildren. Even with those left out, it turned out excellent!

I thought it could have used a little less onion.
