M's Unusually Delicious Pumpkin-Fig Soup

Submitted by Schnecke

"I know this sounds like a very strange mix, but it really works! My best friend made me write out the recipe right away so I wouldn't forget anything. If made correctly, the fig should barely be noticeable, but will give the soup an unbelievably round flavor. I first made this recipe with figs I "borrowed" from Schloss Sansoucci in Potsdam. :)"
