You know what I was thinking of serving this in a pumpkin as a decoration. Yummmy. Oh la la.
Cathy, Pumpkin Soup is one of those items that is easy to mess up. A recipe is only a guide. So, here are a few things to think about just off of the top of my head. Try to use only fresh pumpkin and ginger. This will make a whole lot of difference. Try adding your spices one half at a time, until you find the exact blend of flavors that you like. Make sure to carmelized your onions. This will give add a unique sweetness. And lastly, I would just say, make sure to cook off all of the alchol. What recipes are you looking for?What are you having difficulty with in the kitchen or the dinning room? You need only ask.
Thank you
