Julie's Pumpkin Soup

Submitted by puppitypup

"This is my verson of Nad Smith's recipe #84530. Everytime I make this, I think "I don't want sweet soup!" and leave out the sugar. Then I end up adding it back in one tablespoon at a time. The soup still isn't what I would call sweet, but the sugar definitely adds to the flavor. Even my picky husband likes this soup!"
