"This is one of the best soups I have ever made. It has a wonderful and complex flavour. I highly recommend it. From Bon Appetit. I did not use canned pumpkin but made my own puree in the microwave."

  1. You are right, super complex flavor without much work (it goes fast in spite of the long ingredient list). The banana flavor is very subtle and goes well, like a swirled pumpkin and banana bread! I skipped Step #7 because I had already pureed the soup in the earlier step.
