This soup was fabulous! I had never tried a pumpkin soup before but this recipe was appealing because we are lovers of spicey food. I read the notes in the description and ended up adapting the recipe a little bit. I did use a processor for the cilantro and sour cream and I increased both to 1/2 cup so I could add the 1/4 cup to the soup and still have a 1/4 cup to garnish with. I added the green chile directly to the soup in step two and I used fresh roasted and peeled Anaheim Green Chili. Since we are lovers of Spicey...I did add the ground red pepper and also added 1 teaspoon of Hot Sauce. This was simple and quick to make, had wonderful flavor and it's healthy. My husband was getting seconds before I was half way finished! Thanks for a great recipe, I will definitly be making this again!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
