I am not a big fan of Pumpkin Soups, but I do like it Curried and this has such a high rating. This was good and I will keep it at hand when required! My 4 yr old requested pumpkin soup to use up a Kent Pumpkin. As the fresh pumpkin is much more watery than canned I adjusted by only putting 400ml stock, 375ml ev. milk, twice the pumpkin and I upped the curry to 2tsp which was probably 1/2tsp too much for us. I omitted the nutmeg as I didn't have any. Oh and garnished with greek style yogurt and served with Recipe#226224 this meal is great rather than just good.

So easy and quick! Used pumpkin purée I had in my freezer. (I basically bake a pumpkin split in half and put on a oiled baking sheet, pulp in, at 350 until it is cooked. Then, I remove and purée the pulp, cool, and store in 2 cup freezer plastic bags. Good for a year). Did 4 times the recipe for a party in a huge soup pot. I added 1 chopped clove of garlic per recipe (so total 4 cloves). Delicious.

this is fabulous! i love the idea of using evaporated milk to make this creamy without adding a ton of fat. must remember that trick for other cream soups. i was out of mushrooms so i increased the onion to more like 3/4 cup and added 3 big cloves of garlic, that worked very well. my curry powder has a heavy cinnamon note which i'm usually not fond of but it worked fine for this, i added closer to 2 tsp since mine is very mild. i also added about a tsp of dill which i think is a nice counterbalance. i was expecting this to be a bit on the sweet side but it's lovely and savory. will make often! thanks you!!!

Very easy soup to make with a good, rich flavor. I reduced the broth to 2 cups to thicken it up a bit. I also like a spicy edge when cooking, so I added some cayenne pepper and garlic. Next time, I think I'll try it with gnocchi instead of mushrooms for a new twist. Overall, it's a keeper in our house :)
