I have been making this for a few years now for Thanksgiving and other occasions. EVERYONE loves it. I get requests constantly. So good. I replace the the heavy cream w/ 1/2 & 1/2 and add more hot sauce and fresh nutmeg only. Awesome! ps. I have never made it with relish. Option for a scoop of sour cream and sprinkle of chives.

Great soup. My husband and I love it. I have made it 3 times since I found it in December. Very easy to make. Thanks Rachel!

Only my second foray into the land of soups, but my wife loved it. The relish really made the dish.

This is fantastic! It does need the relish to complete the soup. I am looking forward to making this again for more people.

Made it twice, first time too sagey...second time cut the poultry seasoning in half. Amazing, the relish was good enough to eat alone!

Made this soup for the first time and it turned out good. It bit bland when its done. Tasted too much like chicken broth and not pumpkin so I added another can and more spices and it turned out great. I would recommend playing with it to your liking. I froze the left overs which defrost well.

I made this as a first-course for dinner party of 4 and it was a BIG hit. I personally thought it was only okay... a little bland -- perhaps too much cream? -- but my guests raved about it, so I guess that's a good sign. I'd give it 3 stars, but since my guests loved it so much, I bumped it up to 4. Next time I would go a little lighter on the cream to help the pumpkin flavor stand out a bit more. There was a lot leftover, maybe for my group, only half the recipe would have been better.

Horrible! Really strange combination of spices. I had to throw it out no one would eat it.I didn't use cream but whole milk for a healthier soup maybe that did it???

DELICIOUS! I made Rachael Ray's Pumpkin Soup vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth and it came out great! My cousins are coming for Thanksgiving otherwise I would not have changed the recipe. I used less hot sauce and added 1 more tablespoon of butter, and substituted 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning with 1 teaspoon herb chicken seasoning. In the morning I will add the topping before serving the soup. Yes, the nutmeg turns up the aroma and flavor. I should have minced the onion and celery, but a little nibble tastes good. I would definitely not add pumpkin pie spice or pumpkin pie already made puree that is sweetened. This is a savory soup! I know my kids will taste it and pass it up for corn bread and fresh honey! Update: the kids ate the soup when I added the topping! Everyone enjoyed this recipe and there was not a drop left!

I had leftover pumpkin so I decided to give the recipe a try. It was out of this world! I did substitute half and half for the heavy cream. Delicious!!
