Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Party Hit Creamy Pumpkin Soup Recipe). This incredible creamy soup was the surprise favorite at our 2000 Halloween party.

This 'definitely' belongs on the holiday table again! If you're going to multiply the recipe but want to serve in one bowl, get a bigger pumpkin rather than more little ones.
