I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for the V*gan Swap November 2008. This was really easy to put together and brought both the pumpkin and corn flavors together in harmony. I used one 16 oz. bag of frozen corn instead, and it still turned out great. I also upped the onion a bit because my family enjoys onion.

After the holidays, I had a cup of pumpkin left and 1/4 cup of half-n-half. Halving his recipe made good use of both. Super simple and delicious, I even added some turkey and it was devine. Thanks for the no fuss recipe.

Could this soup be made a day ahead of time, stored in the fridge, and then reheated the next day? Or would that ruin the consistency?

My DS in the connoisseur of corn soups in our house and he was very quick announced that he would take any leftovers to school today for his lunch... since he is not a fan of leftovers in his lunch, I gather he really enjoyed this corn soup. I couldn't find any 11oz cans of corn so I used one 15oz can and one 8oz can. I also threw the entire can of pumpkin in which made the pumpkin flavor stand out. Very nice flavor and easy soup to put together. Made for Please Review My Recipe game.

For the thin consistency I added a spoonful of corn starch mixed with cold water to thicken it at the end. This was a good quick meal but it seemed a little flat on flavor. I will make it again but I am going to keep playing with the flavors. I liked the sour cream addition.
