This comforting soup is wonderfully warming on an autumn day, and the subtle curry flavor lets the pumpkin star. My family really enjoy dishes like this that have a delightful down-home flavor.—Eleanor Dunbar, Peoria, Illinois

Every single member of the family loved this, including my picky son in law, thank you!

I make this every Thanksgiving. I use a quart of half and half instead of evaporated milk...

I would rate this as excellent with the addition of pumpkin pie spice (1/8 tsp) per bowl and extra sugar (1/4 tsp) per bowl. Next time I will add to the whole recipe (1/2 tsp pp spice and 1 extra tsp sugar) before simmering. I also subbed 1% milk and 1 Tbsp margarine for the half and half. I might consider pureeing it in the food processer next time before simmering as the onion pieces were tasty but a different texture.

Such a delicious soup! I've made it twice - the second time I doubled the recipe. The curry lends a mild, spicy flavor to the pumpkin that is totally different from pumpkin pie! Love it!

I used the evaporated milk. The soup was great. Even my two year old liked it. I am just trying to figure out how to give it a hint more of sweetness.

Excellent flavor.

There should be a Maybe circle. My hubby refused to eat it. I increased the half and half to 1 1/2 cups to thicken and am tempted to leave out the curry and substitute pumpkin pie spice. Just not too impressed with this.
