Autumn Spice Pumpkin Soup

This creamy Autumn Spice Pumpkin Soup tastes like pumpkin pie!

If you follow me on instagram, then you know I spent the weekend making gallons of Cafe Rio Salad Dressing.  It took a few hours and lots of refrigerator space but I got ‘er done!  It was for a conference held by my church women’s organization and the chair of the food committee chose to serve MY Cafe Rio Pork Salad recipe to the 300 women attending!  Pretty exciting!!!  But I’m not gonna lie, I was also a bit nervous.  It turned out to be a success though!  We over estimated on food so we had some leftovers even after people ate seconds (yeah, THAT good).  My husband was more than willing to eat the extras.Autumn Spice Pumpkin Soup | Garnish & Glaze

Well, this might come as a shock but… I don’t like pumpkin pie.   You already know I’m not a big fan of pie, particularly the crust but I just can’t eat a whole piece of pumpkin pie (I think it’s the texture… or lack thereof).  Really, when my mom would make it at Thanksgiving I would go dish myself up a bowl of vanilla ice cream and mix in LOTS of chocolate syrup and chocolate chips.  That’s what’s missing!  Maybe I’ll add chocolate to a pumpkin pie!  Oh my, lot’s of ideas… good things coming your way!Autumn Spice Pumpkin Soup | Garnish & Glaze
While I don’t like pumpkin pie, I pretty much love everything else pumpkin… chocolate pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin cake, pumpkin bread with cream cheese frosting… AND this creamy Autumn Spiced Pumpkin Soup!  I have actually never had pumpkin soup before making this one but I really liked it, especially with the pumpkin seeds.  I love texture, remember?

So…. if you want the pumpkin pie taste and your house to smell like you’ve been baking pie but not eat the calories, make this soup!  Seriously, I should have just called it pumpkin pie soup.

I recommend this hand blender for pureeing any kind of soup.  Way easier than transferring to a blender to puree in multiple batches.

    I’ve been trying to recreate a pumpkin pie soup of a favorite restaurant that closed and came across this great recipe. Enjoying it as I write this review! I loved the way this turned out. Strong flavor and just sweet enough without being too much. Husband loved it too. I threw everything in the slow cooker, adding half and half at the end and blended by immersion blender. Also had the bonus of making the house smell so good on a beautiful autumn day in Vermont :). Thanks for sharing!
