I had every intention this fall to make a Pumpkin Soup using a real pumpkin and then using the hallowed out pumpkin as the bowl to serve the soup in. It didn’t happen, but I did find a delicious pumpkin soup recipe on AllRecipes.com and adapted it to our liking! The recipe originally called for toping the soup with bacon. When I made the soup we didn’t have any bacon. My husband LOVES Maple flavored sausage so we tired it and it was excellent with the creamy pumpkin! I know, it sounds weird, but it is the special ingredient in this delicious pumpkin soup! 
The recipe is very simple and easy to make. It does call for a lot of spices, butas far as chopping and cutting stuff up it is so easy!

I hope you like this recipe! Let me know if you make it and if you add anything else to it!
Have a wonderful day!
Ooh, I love the addition of sausage. I think that’s just the flavor my hubby would need to make pumpkin soup worth eating!
That sounds really good! Adding it to my recipe file.
I’ve never tried Pumpkin soup before, looks good 🙂
Yum! I love pumpkin soup!
I never had a recipe so I’m definitely going to try this especially since it says can of it. 🙂 Throwing in the sausage sounds like a great touch.
