Perfect soup for a chilly day
My first time making soup in my new vitamix. I loved the soup, but must admit I changed some of the ingredients. We all have our own " dietary quirks," so I subbed raw honey for the brown sugar, replaced the cayenne with fresh ground ginger, added a few leftover steamed carrots/ parsnips, and sprinkled a minimal amount of cinnamon on top. This soup was perfect for a chilly autumn day. I had friends over and served it with warm crunchy crusted garlic bread. ( and white wine).

Yummy
this was an excellent soup. I only substituted the a canned pumpkin for the roasted pumpkins I made. Also, I used my home made chicken stock. Love it.

Taste great!
For sure that I will make this soup again, adding more stock. This time, I stir-fried together the pumpkin, the onion and the garlic in a little bit of oil for 2 minutes approx before adding it to the Vitamix. I own a Vitamix for 10 years and use it almost daily for making mostly soups, smoothies and nut butter.

Not what I was expecting
Imagine being almost 9 months pregnant, and craving pumpkin soup... you go to the store all excited and spend all that money for the ingredients. You get home, prep everything, and finally get to mixing all while thinking, “ohh heck yeah this is about to be awesome!” It’s done mixing... you can’t wait to put it in a bowl so you just scoop a big spoonful straight from your mixer getting ready to quell those cravings... only to get a big spoonful of something I can only describe as shrimp bisque’s Cajun cousin. I was highly disappointed. I might wait to try this recipe again when I’m not pregnant and when I’m ready for the heartburn one scoop so rudely gave me

Too spicy!
This was so easy to make! But I'll be tweaking the recipe. I like the recommendation to substitute ginger for the cayenne. It needed some other flavor too, which I'll play with. Substituted coconut sugar for brown sugar

Will make again!
We made this soup to the recipe and it was amazing. The cayenne does make it have a pretty good kick. We added some applewood bacon crumbles on top. Perfection!!

Too much nutmeg
I should have tasted the soup before trusting the recipe and adding the nutmeg.
