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.
 

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. :)
 
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.
 
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...

Oh! I would try that! I like pumpkin spice, Pie, coffee creamer, and a soup if it is available.
 
Pumpkin soup is popular in Australia - in fact I read once it is most popular of home made soups.

have made it myself sometimes - and I add bit or paprika and turmeric to it.

Interestingly pumpkin pie, which seems popular in America, isnt really a thing here.
 
Pumpkin spice isn't my favorite. It's fine in pumpkin cake or bars, and I'm content with just one slice of pumpkin pie each season. As for anything else with pumpkin spice...belay
