Good with a few changes...

Jamie F from Phoenix, AZ

I substituted a few ingredients in the recipe as we don't eat a lot of dairy products. I used olive oil instead of the butter to cook the vegetables. I also used a 14 ounce can of unsweetened coconut milk in place of the evaporated milk. I added 1/2 teaspoon of curry, as well as two chicken boullion cubes (I dissolved the cubes in 1/2 cup boiling water before I added it to the soup). Everyone enjoyed the soup & I will make it again!!!
A Tasty Surprise

NANCY CHAPMAN from Yorba Linda, CA

I had never thought of mixing pumpkin and peanut butter together and made it into a soup before. It turned out to be a tasty surprise. I added a pinch of salt and curry to it just to spice it up a little. This will be one of the staples of my hearty, winter meal.
Tasty and quick

Lori from Medford, OR

I made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit! The peanutty flavor was a good twist. I spiced it up with about 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne and it was tasty.

Easy and Fast

This is a great way to add fiber in your diet --and it is so tasty. I did use chunky peanut butter and added a few sprinkles of hot sauce. Yummy.

pumpkin peanut soup

Amazed at how tasty this was! I used cooked pumpkin from post Halloween pumpkin, did not put through a blender, also used chuncky peanut butter. The extra texture added to the taste in my opinion. I'll definitely make this soup again. Delicious!!
Fast and Tasty Pumpkin Peanut Soup

Paula LEOTTA from MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA

I put all ingredients except the pumpkin, chicken broth and Carnation Evaported 2% milk in the pot before leaving in the morning. When I came home late in the day all I had to do was open three cans (pumpkin, broth and Carnation Evaporated 2%Milk), turn the stove on and put some bread in the oven to warm. I used the full half cup of peanut butter. This fast and easy to prepare soup smelled wonderful while cooking and tasted delicious. For my family taste we will try it with a dash of hot sauce next time.
Halloween Supper!

JAN WILKINS from BLYTHEVILLE, AR

It is just my husband and I at home now, but I still like to do something special for Halloween. This was what I fixed last night for supper as we watched "spooky" movies on TV....He must have forgotten about Monday night football! I served Peanut Butter & Honey sandwiches, carrot sticks, raisin cookies, & applie cider...it was fun!
Soooo Good!

Mary Salvador from RIVERSIDE, CA

This soup was easy to make and tasted so good. I added some salt and pepper and that with the combination of peanut butter and pumpkin were great. The soup is thick and creamy and makes a great meal by itself - -I just served a salad with it.

Yummy Peanut Pumpkin Soup

SAUNDRA ROMERO from ROSEBURG, OR

This is one of the best peanut pumpkin soup recipes I've tried. After having the soup, I used the left overs on my halibut steak, and it was excellent. I'll make this soup again, for guests, and am sure it will be a winner. Thank you.

Anita Marsan from PORT CHARLOTTE, FL

This was absolutely delicious and easy to make. We love soups and this is a keeper.
Love the peanut twist

PAMELA GILLEY from Indianapolis, IN

Pumpkin soup has been one of our favorites for a long time, but the peanut butter in this recipe, combined with the pumkin and spices is terrific. We like it even better the second and third days...if it lasts that long.
hey

BEVERLY TAYLOR from CALHOUN, GA

Pumpkin Peanut Soup is very good my kids loved it.
What Fun

What combining a colonial soup (peanut soup) with pumpkin! What a blast, and delicious soup! Thank you for something that is a bit different, yet delicious.
Yummy!!

karen gilpin from palmdale, CA

The best to Pumkin soup

Lila Cornelio from Morton Grove, IL

At first i was skeptical of trying a soup with peanut butter, but since i just LOVE both of these, i decided to try them together, and it was to die for. try it because you got nothing else to lose
great for cold nights

Marcia Sobelman from LONG BEACH, CA

This is a great tasting soup for adults and children.
Unconventional Soup

SUZANNE DYER from LOS ANGELES, CA

I, like other cooks uses pumpkin for pies and peanut butter for sandwiches. The combination sounded strange, but was yummy. I added a little cream cheese instead of the condenced milk. It made it very creamy and I added chicken for more flavor. Very easy and yummy.

Pumpkin Peanut Soup

jean adams from WAYCROSS, GA

This is very good. I made a pot today. It's pouring rain outside and this was just what my family needed. They love soup, as much as I do. Thanks.
um, um good!!

SANDRA WRIGHT from REED CITY, MI

I HADN'T TRIED PUMPKIN SOUP SINCE MY HONEYMOON IN NEW ORLEANS, OVER 28 YEARS AGO. SO WHEN I TRIED THIS IT REMINDED ME OF OUR HONEYMOON. ITS REALLY GOOD!
Perfect

Linda Mathieu from Midland, MI

Easy preparation for complex flavors. Definitely suits a sophisticated palette without taking all day to prepare.
Soup Therapy

DK KI from VISTA, CA

This pumpkin-peanut soup was a "life saver" for me and my father. Pumpkin has so many of the nutrients and vitamins we need for our special medical condition. The peanut makes the soup such a treat and a treat.
Gourmet made easy!

Susan Hertzog from LEBANON, PA

This is a "souped up" version of the southern peanut soup. With the addition of the pumpkin, herbs and garlic this soup is delicious and good enough to serve with any meal - it makes the meal gourmet!

wanda wilson from HIGH SPRINGS, FL

This is a very unique blend of spices. The thyme gives it an extra suprise.
Pumpkin Peanut Soup

Mary Edelen from Vermillion, SD

Most people have never eaten pumpkin in anything but pie; and once they try this soup, they'll ask for seconds. It has a delicious pumpkin flavor with a hint of peanut and is a wonderful combination.
Great Soup!

SHARON DENZIEN from Schaumburg, IL

I made this for the first time last weekend and it was delicious. I wasn't sure about the peanut butter with the pumpkin so added a small amount as a sample. My husband loved it so I added the peanut butter to the whole recipe. What a different flavor. Definitely will make again.
Husband's Favorite

dorothy denning from WHITTIER, CA

My husband and I are retired Senior Citizens, and we often just have soup for dinner. This soup was unusual, extra flavorful and filling! Delicious with some crusty, warm bread on a cold, winter's night! We liked to use crunchy peanut butter, which gave it a nice texture.
pumpkin heaven

Francine Wilczak from BUFFALO, NY

I love pumpkin soup because it reminds me of Halloween. This was an easy recipe to use when you don't have a real pumpkin to make the soup with. I loved the combination with the peanut butter. Two of my favorite things.
Pumpkin Peanut soup

Pat Hamilton from PITTSBURGH, PA

This was a good unusual change from the ordinary. I've never had a soup with either peanut butter or pumpkin. Nice lunch with a package of peanut butter crackers.
Great for lunch with a sandwich

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

I couldn't believe how good this was when I made it. It didn't sound good. It's surprizing the recipes that doesnt sound good are really great. I'm glad I tryed this. We love it.
Great for the kids too!

AMANDA FLEENER from ALLENTOWN, PA

This recipe is very easy and a bit different in flavors--the kids love the peanut butter. I left out the shallots and marjoram (because I didn't have any). Instead I added coriander for a nice blend.
Wow

DONNA BURTON from CALUMET, MI

This is so easy and you can add all sorts of stuff to it to make it different.
warming

Carine Nadel from LAGUNA HILLS, CA

this was perfect for a fast, filling warm dinner on a late night. I added some fruit and dinner was a hit
Wonderful Soup!

Royce Ann Bauerlein from Toms River, NJ

I had tried peanut soup and pumpkin soup, but never the two combined. This was delightful. I used chunky peanut butter, which gave it an interesting texture.
Pumpkin Peanut Soup

dave wilder from boone, NC

I followed the recipe the first time and the onion, shallot,garlic taste was a little overwhelming. On the next batch, I drop those three ingredients and added 2T of pumpkin pie spice. It was like drinking warm pie from a glass.

SIRI BOWMAN from DOYLESTOWN, PA

This is an unusual must try kind of soup.
Try it.... you'll like it !

Gloria Richards from Ocean Pines, MD

The combination of pumpkin and peanut butter created one delicious fall soup even without the shallots. A repeat at our house and so easy to do. I served mine with toasted coutons.
Delicious

Anna Keene from Trumbull, CT

This soup is absolutely delicious.
Reminds me of....

Tenille Martin from Willis, VA

The Pumpkin Peanut soup we had years ago when we visited Mount Vernon. Great recipe, easy, and tastes wonderful.
Very tasty!

Kathie Stephens-Landers from Las Vegas, NV

I made this Monday night after work. Really quick and, in my opinion, easy! My husband's comment was that he couldn't imagine eating Pumpkin in anything else but pie. Changed his tune now!
variation

diane tollefson from westminster, CA

As a pumpkin fan and a weight watcher, I eliminated the butter and used 99% fat free chicken broth. I followed the advice of other reviews and let it sit all day to blend the flavors. I think there was too much peanut butter in mine..it seemed to dominate the flavor. Next time less peanut butter. Very good.
Try this at least once

Susy Willard from Orlando, FL

This is great. My husband wants me to take it to the big Thanksgiving dinner at his mother's house. It's easy to over do the peanut butter. I'd stick to the 1/4 cup.
So Tastey

Audra Taylor from clearwater, FL

This soup is warm and absolutely wonderful!
Pumpkin Soup Review

katrina goodman from glendale, AZ

This soup goes wonderfully with a hearty crusty bread. It was a little strong to eat by itself.
Worth a try!

Carol Datillo from Saint Peters, MO

If you are not sure about this soup then think again. At first I thought pumpkin and peanut butter but the two blended very well. I made it the night before, tasted it and then reheated it the next day for lunch and thought it was much better the second day. I also shared it with a fellow pumpkin lover who also liked it.
