I have always loved pumpkin pie. It has been one of my favorite deserts since I was old enough to eat pie. That is why I was caught a little off guard when my fiance's mom made me pumpkin soup for dinner. All I could imagine was pumpkin pie flavored soup.
After eating pumpkin soup at my fiance's house I had to make my own version. Do not get me wrong hers was amazing, it just lacked a punch that people expect with my food. My first version was a little bit too strong for everyone so I made a few modifications to arrive at this recipe.
Initially I used chipotle as the main seasoning, the problem was that made it too spicy for most of my guests. If spicy is okay substitute the cajun seasoning for chipotle and add a pureed green pepper. This meal goes really well inside of a soup bowl.
