Okay, then! I draw the line at

Pumpkin spice soup. I've been reading recipes online, and that was one of them. Enough already!

I'm not gonna make it, not gonna eat it if it's offered...not even if it's offered by the most famous chefs in the world. Nope. And they can't make me.

May I ask why not??

I‘ll support you boycotting it. Pumpkin spice belongs in pies. I’d eat that.

Because it's taken over everdamnthang. Tired of it.

Yeah. I like pumpkin pie just fine.

A creamy pumpkin, carrot or winter squash soup can be amazing but I agree that pumpkin spice is for pies.

Many years ago, in Toronto, I had a velvety smooth carrot soup flavored with the juice and zest from an orange that was wonderful.

I think it depends on the recipe. A pumpkin (or other winter squash) soup can be wonderful, but if you're talking about that artificial "pumpkin spice" flavoring . . . YUK! My wife makes a curried squash and mushroom soup that's amazing. She usually uses butternut squash but is going to try it this year with sugar pumpkin.

I do like a pumpkin smoothie once in a while.

I must be the only person in the world who hates pumpkin spice ANYTHING....or for that matter, just plain pumpkin.

This is not my time of year.

To my tastes the key spices in pumpkin pie are cinnamon and cloves. Which i would not put in soup.

However, i've made pumpkin stews in hollowed out pumpkins browning the meat (whatever you like or even more than one kind--we prefer pork) first then adding it and other veggies and water. Then roast in oven using a fairly high sided pan.

The skin gets papery and the flesh of the pumpkin soft enough to easily scrape some of it off as ladle out the servings. This is why a high sided pan-- if you puncture the skin the liquid can leak out.

I agree not everything needs to taste like pumpkin pie.

I make only one thing pumpkin and that is Pumpkin Squares with the bottom layer made of Butter Golden Cake Mix. My
oldest son could eat the whole tray of those.

I still wanted to try ranch flavored ice cream, with fried chicken.... Pumpkin spice is ok in coffee creamer, but that's it.

I have no problem with pumpkin spice products. The ones I've had were delicious.

Bring on the spice, baby!

Pumpkin spice soup?! Oh that sounds so good! I've been trying to find Nuovo pumpkin ravioli, which Costco used to sell. It was SO good. The company only sells in bulk to restaurants and the like. As much as I love pumpkin stuff, one thing my first mind told me I shouldn't bother to try was...
