Soup came out nicely. I grew a slew of Seminole pumpkins and was interested in a soup that is thinner than a bisque. This recipe worked well and will add to my collection. BTW, I added a half tsp. of turmeric and it lit up the color even more. I used a high speed blender to eliminate the need to use a sieve. Add a dab of yogurt as a condiment on occasion.
Really didn’t taste like much. Actually pretty disappointing and won’t use it again. There are many better recipes for pumpkin soup.
Add two large cubed potatoes, 1 tsp. tumeric And coconut cream.
Too much work cutting up pumpkin for a pretty boring soup. Not worth the time and effort.
