I used my grandson's little pumpkin and a cast-off halloween pumkin - waste not, want not. It just happened to be 7 cups of pumpkin. You can change it up! When looking for soup stock, I was appalled at the amount of sodium even the "low-sodium" stock had - until I found Wegman's veggie stock!

This is equally good as a schmear between tortillas for a fake quesadilla, or on bagels in the morning! For parties, serve with your favourite crudites and pretzel rods.
