Pumpkin Vegetable Soup Recipe

Rating 5

This golden-toned soup is wonderfully warming on crisp autumn days. "Unlike most creamy pumpkin soups, this one is especially hearty, with additional vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and corn," notes Joan Conover, Easton, Pennsylvania. "For fun autumn flair, serve the soup in hollowed-out pumpkin shells. My boys love it that way."

I have been researching recipes to expand my use of 'the great pumpkin'. This is a wonderful soup--beautiful golden color, wonderful flavor! It does not have a heavy pumpkin flavor as when you do the usual puree of pumpkin type soup. The consumer is more than likely to ask what's in it. For my personal taste, I would add some freshly ground pepper or cayenne to give it just a bit of a kick. This is going in my favorites!
