I have been making a version of this fall soup for years. I have used my organic sugar baby pumpkin from the garden as well as butternut or acorn squash. I also served it in small individual hollowed out pumpkins for a first course at Thanksgiving and my family and friends loved it.

Mmmm... all the flavors of fall. This would be a wonderful - and vegetarian - addition to your holiday table.
