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.

This is my favorite soup recipe. I only puree about half of it, because I like having some chunks in it, and I add shredded chicken. So delicious!

Delicious. Took me a long time to prepare.....I should have used a processer since you puree ingredients, which would have saved time and labor. But worth the effort.
