Spicy Pumpkin Soup

Made it word for word as recipe said and it completely ruined dinner. It was supposed to be the appetizer. It was too tasty! All we wanted was the soup and we had to put dinner in the fridge! That recipe is amazing and I am totally making a double batch for Thanksgiving.

i give it five stars not because it is a perfect recipe. i am a pretty good cook, so i only use recipe for inspirations esp in term of flavor profile. in this sense, this one nails it. but in term of cooking technique? it is pretty lame! boil onion and garlic? nope! no blender for a soup like this? no way! so, if you want to make it a 5 star restaurant soup, you 1) sauté the vegetables (you should do this for ALL the soup!) 2) mix pumpkin purée with chicken broth, or water plus bullion (really does not make any difference) on medium heat, then add sautéed onion/garlic/spice.3) blend all the mix. 3) transfer to a slow cooker (high if you have only an hour, low if you have whole afternoon) add two circles of drizzle of honey (to add depth in flavor), and two circles of drizzle of heavy cream (for color and enhanced texture) tiny bit more effort, this soup goes gr
