Just great. Sweet potato and a bit of fresh ginger were superb additions to an already delicious recipe. Thanks.

scott, just cut the pumkin in half, take out the seeds then cut the pumpkin into large cubes (don't remove the thick pumpkin skin).

Hi, when you say dont peel, that means just to use the whole pumpkin? not to cut it into blocks and leave the outside like you would a potato??

Thank you for this wonderful & easy- to- make recipe! I was very sceptical about using the peel too, but it really worked.
Even my husband (who usually hates pureed soups) said it was one of the best pumpkin soups he´s ever tasted!
It´s an absolutely perfect dish for Haloween too.....really very very tasty. Thank you very much. I would very definitely make this again! Wintery good wishes from Berlin, Germany.
