    Wow! This is really good. I added black pepper and a little more cayenne pepper. We like spicy. Delicious! - 5/12/12

    I've made a lot of pumpkin soups in my time, and this recipe is definitely one of the best! I added some carrot for thickness and it tasted delicious. - 10/16/11

    It made a nice, thick soup, perfect for dinner with a salad and bread sticks. The whole family liked this. I'll definitely make it again. Our family likes spicy food, so I'd consider increasing the cayenne; it's pretty tame as it is. - 1/9/11
