Introduction

This is an incredible soup that you would never believe used pumpkin as its base. It is very spicy, so if you like less spice, you can omit the cayenne and cut down slightly on the Shrimp and Crab Boil. I like to use Low Sodium Chicken Broth to cut down on the sodium content. You can make this the day before as it is even better after being refridgerated. This is an incredible soup that you would never believe used pumpkin as its base.
