A great tasting soup hot or cold. Easy to make in smaller amounts too.

Delicious soup with the perfect after being stuck in traffic. Additionally, I'm a firm believer that everything in autumn should be pumpkin flavored or cinnamon scented.

I made this last year and my family absolutely loved it. Really picky eaters might not be too interested in it though...

Review by Charlene on November 20th, 2011:

Excellent base for a tasty soup. With 2 cups of puree makes a great mug soup... A real treat!

It was really easy to make, and became an absolute success... big praise from hubby, mother in law and every person who tried (includding myself...)

Review by BJM on November 15th, 2012:

Used coconut oil instead of butter, almond milk instead of cream, 1 tblsp of molasses instead of brown sugar and 6 cups pumpkin, 1 tsp of trocomare instead of salt. Tasted awesome - great starter recipe.
