1 Tb and 2 tsp. ground cumin

I know, I know––I'm sure I've reposted this before since I first wrote it in November 07, but it's just that good. A hearty, healthy fall soup. Connecting to Chari's Happy to Design for Sunday Favorites.
I believe you--it's "just that good". I have, however, put shallots on my list because I love their mild and smoky flavor and a half cup is a lot of flavor.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'll serve small cups of this to my Muse book group on Wednesday evening.
Best,

I want to eat this now, and it's 10:14 pm, and my stomach is still full from dinner. Ever since the Fall chill has rolled into our fair city, I've been craving all things pumpkin. I bought pumpkin pie spice, and will soon by making pumpkin creme pies! I will add this to my list of Fall soups to make soon. =) (Thanks for your nice comment on my most recent post by the way. See you in the a.m.)
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks so good. I am fond of soups and I love black beans and pumpkin!

ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you for Sunday Favorites again this week, sweet friend! What a great post to revisit...it's my first time to see it so I'm glad that you chose it! I have to admit that I have never had pumpkin soup before, however I love pumpkin and I love soup...sooo...I'm sure that I would like it! It really sounds delicious and would be so perfect for a cool autumn day or evening meal! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us for Sunday Favorites!!!
Have a super Sunday, Darlin'!

PS...oops, I meant to ask...in the recipe it calls for sherry vinegar. Is that the same thing as cooking sherry? I don't know if I've ever seen sherry vinegar.
What a terrific recipe! I do love all things pumpkin, and the pumpkin soup I've made is more of a sweet soup.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really satisfying! and I'd like to try it.
Oooh, what a yummy autumn recipe!
ReplyDeleteSomebody just recently told me they made a soup that sounds just like this, it sounds wonderful! My friend said it was very good, if I had a pumpkins I would make this.

I made this soup for tonight and thought it was a good low cal recipe for watching my weight. Delicious. It turned out to be 85 and humid here in my area of GA today so not a real Fall day to eat soup. I ate it with the air conditioner on and wearing shorts and a tee and flip flops. Will definitely repeat his recipe when it cools down a bit more. Thanks for sharing.
