cook's notes
you can substitute fresh pumpkin for the canned. Use a 3 lb pumpkin in place of 24 oz canned. Cut it up in pieces leaving the skin on and bake on a cookie sheet in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove the flesh from the skin.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Excellent recipe. Tried it for Thanksgiving 2011. It was a huge hit so I made it again for Christmas. I will make it again for Thanksgiving 2012! Cant wait.

I made this soup with fresh pumpkin and thought the fact that it tasted so good was a fluke but it gets better every time. If I make my own chicken stock its even tastier and you can decide for yourself how spicy you want it.
