Yum! I love butternut squash soup so I think I’ll definitely love this!
Oh wow, that sounds fabulous! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
That looks really yummy! I like potato soup but this looks so simple to prepare that I may have to give it a try at lunch some time (I don’t think my boys would care for it).
It’s a little spicy, but it makes a good healthy soup. Thank you for your sweet comment 🙂
I love pumpkin soup. The simpler, the better to really let the pumpkin shine. This looks awesome…. can’t wait for sweater weather now! Found your link at SNAP! Stopping over from Bulldogs and Brown Sugar
Nothing wrong with some spice! I love that this is simpler than most recipes for pumpkin soup that require 1,000 steps and crazy ingredients! I’d love to have you link this up at my party!
Yum! Looks amazing!
Thanks!

Thanks Michelle for your sweet comment. I hope you like it!
Oh yum! I would love this!
Thanks for joining us at the Keep Calm & Link Up party this week – hope to see you again next week!
Thanks Sarah! I will be there!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I tried it for lunch and really enjoyed it. I made it with vegetable broth instead of chicken so I needed to add a touch more of seasonings. I added a dash of cumin, a dash of garlic salt and a few parsley flakes. I bought 3 flats of pumpkin last fall when they were on sale so this recipe will come in handy this winter.
Oh I love that you did this! I will try the garlic salt and parsley. Thank you so much for your comment 🙂
Yum! Thanks so much for linking up to my link party last week. I hope you’ll stop by again today to link up some more of your ideas.

That is a winner! I have to be careful with red pepper flakes, but Cassidy piles them in. And I’d use whole milk or even cream!
