I really liked this soup. I used 1 tbsp honey instead of the brown sugar and added cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice as well. The taste was so unique that I can't describe it, but it was delicious. The pumpkin is not very strong. What comes through the most is a creamy consistency. I will definitely be making this again.

I happened to have all the ingredients that this recipe called for and was in the mood for soup, so I tried it out with several of the suggestions below. I used 3 Tbsp of flour to thicken it up, 1 Tbsp of brown sugar (it was a bit too sweet for me, maybe I'll try 1/2 Tbsp next time) and added 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (when am I going to use this again?). It's delicious! It somewhat reminds me of this cream of pumpkin soup that I used to order from Earth, Wind and Flour when I was working with my sister many years ago.

This soup is delicious! I too made some variations after reading the previous reviews. I used 1Tbsp. of brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg, a sprinkle or two of ground cloves (to add some of that spice to the pumpkin flavor) and added some cornstarch (mixed with water) to thicken up the soup. I also used fat free 1/2 and 1/2, and am VERY pleased with the result. I highly recommend this soup, and it is easy to make!

I make this soup for our bazaar every year. I trade the nutmeg for cinnamon. Top each bowl with a little creme fraiche and and cinnamon croutons. I receive rave reviews.

I followed other postings and added a little more salt, cinnamon and allspice. I decided to add some "flare" and baked it in a pumpkin. I cleaned the pumpkin and rubbed the inside with olive oil. After I had heated the soup, but before adding the cream, I poured the soup into the shell and baked at 350 degrees for 2 hours. Right before serving I added the cream (warmed). When serving, I scraped some of the pumpkin with the soup - it was thick and delicious. Not to mention a beautiful serving "bowl"!

This was better then I thought it would be and is a new favorite. I used chicken bouillon and only added enough water to keep it creamy. Also substituted the nutmeg for a Tablespoon of honey.

After reading all the reviews I decided to tweak it a bit as well. After I sauteed the onions with the butter I added the flour and then put everything into a crock pot for 1 1/2 hours to heat everything through and let all the spices really come together. I used light cream instead of heavy whipping cream and it still tasted delicious. I added extra of all the spices and added a dash of cumin and fried up some bacon and crumbled it into the soup. It turned out excellent!

I haven't tried this yet, I intend to soon, but after reading everyone's comments about needing more flavor, try some crumbled bacon. I had pumpkin soup at a restaurant in Germany once that had bacon and I think chives in it and it was FABulous! Just an idea. I'll be trying this soon!

Fabulous! Used evaporated milk instead of cream and didn't measure the onion. To get more flavor from the spices called for, I also "bloomed" the spices with the flour and sauted onion over heat until fragrant. Only then did I add the pumpkin and then the broth.
