Reviews
My picky family just came in from the snow and loved this soup! I didn’t tell them there were jalepenos or pumpkin in it until after they were asking for seconds. I was looking for a way to use 2 cups of leftover solid pumpkin so I used it in this recipe instead of the squash. It cut the cooking time by 15 minutes. I will definately be making this again real soon!
Easy and delicious. Have made it many times and everyone LOVES it. Great recipe.
This is great as a winter dish.
My husband and I liked it a lot. I used 2 cans pumpkin since I didn’t have the squash. Also used skim milk to cut the calories. Thick and hearty. Add a dollop of sour cream to each bowl before serving. Yum.
