While it looks elegant and is an appealing addition to a holiday meal, this creamy soup is so simple to make. My husband was skeptical at first, but after one bowl, he asked for second helpings! —Elizabeth Montgomery, Allston, Massachusetts

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.

I agree with some of the others -- bland.

Made this a couple months ago, and while it was easy and my husband loved it, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I found it too brothy and was wanting something more creamy. I'll keep looking around.

This soup is really good! My two-year-old daughter had second helpings and couldn't get enough of it! I substituted a cup of evaporated milk for the cream, and used my own homemade chicken stock and pumpkin puree. Mild, not overbearing soup. And very inexpensive to make!

Needed more spices or something.
Not much flavor. Second night we added chopped ham. Made the soup much improved.

This recipe was the bomb! I am a big soup lover and totally enjoyed it. The only change I made to it was I added two extra tablespoons of flour to make it a bit thicker but other than that everything esle was perfect and delicous. Of course my husband would have loved some type of meat in it but it was perfect the way it was for me. I will definitely be making this again and again.

It was a hit at my Bunco party! I will make this again. * I used low salt chicken broth and I had to add salt it was bland without it.

The soup has a wonderful flavor it just seems to be missing somethings. Most likely will add things next time I make it.
