Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Absolutely amazing & healthy. How I made it (using a slow cooker) Omitted milk, salt and pepper, parsley, sausage (although I'm positive smoked or spicy meat would make this absolutely to die for). I added more cinnamo than nutmeg. Cooked in slow cooker on low for 1.5 hours and then on high for another 0.5 hours. Did not puree in the end - the onion chunks mail it more appealing than just a smooth soup! Absolutely delicious however and very simple.
