okay soup, but takes a long time to heat up!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for dinner one night and it took over an hour to bring it up to a boil with so many ingredients in the... pot. This makes a HUGE pot of soup! Also, I didn't think it had enough curry, so I doubled the amount and still found it to be a bit too mild for my family's taste. Next time I would probably cut recipe in half and triple the spices.

Yummo

This was great, even without the curry or the cream. Might try it again with some kielbasa.

DELICIOUS!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

just a wonderful, EASY, delicious and satisfying soup. I tweaked it a bit out of necessity (no curry, no tomatoes, a sprinkle... of cinnamon and an extra can of beans), and it was perfect. next time i make it i think i'll add some kind of sausage, but it really is great as is. hubby loved it (even though he was apprehensive about pumpkin soup at first), said its his favorite soup :D i'll definitely make this again!Read more

I would give this four stars but...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I changed the recipe up by adding some ingredients and it turned out great, a family favorite. When the onions are cooking I... add sliced kielbasa sausage and crushed garlic. Meanwhile on the side I boil chopped potatoes, until almost done. Then to the soup I add frozen corn as well as some garlic salt. I add the potatoes when I add the cream and simmer it together for awhile. Turns out great every time, makes for a very hearty, winter soup. It also works well in a crockpot, just add the cream a few minutes before serving! [: With these additions, I give this soup 5 stars.Read more

Not good
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe as written and maybe its just my husband and I, but this was awful. One spoonful was all we could... stomach together. Sad to throw the whole thing out but it was just terrible. Read more

Delish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this soup. The only change I made was I used FF half and half. It was still very good and hearty.
