Substitute whole milk for cream, use Knorr's Vegetable Bouillon cubes instead of vegetable stock. Reduce margarine.

    This is excellent if you make special croutons to float in the soup. Butter 4 or more slices of white or whole wheat bread and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Broil for 1-2 minutes. Cut into 1 inch cubes. Enjoy

    Delicious and very quick & easy. I liked the unique step of pureeing the onion roux first, then adding the cream, pumpkin, etc. This seemed to provide thickness and lots of great flavor. I did not have veggie broth so I used chicken broth instead. I only had Vidalia sweet onions in the house, and they worked out beautifully in this. I also garnished this with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

    An awesome soup!!! We loved it! I even forgot to put in the cream and it was fantastic! I did top it with a shake of curry and a shake of nutmeg along with a dollup of sour cream ontop (following all the wonderful suggestions on the reviews.) Which added a wonderful spice. I put it in pumpernickel bread bowls and it was a very fulfilling dinner for my husband who is a bottomless pit. I am bringing this as my dish to Thanksgiving. THANKS!!!

    I took this to my family's thanksgiving dinner, where we had over 35 guests, and everyone had to have a taste and loved it. There was already talk of next thanksgiving and continuing the tradition.

    This was great hit at the thankgiving table - I took a large thrmos of it to my host's house and those concerned with gaining weight over the holidays loved because it was only 3 WW points.

    Great soup. I used fresh squash, once with acorn squash. Did not use any milk and added some curry. Delicious both times!

    Good soup. I had my doubts but love pumpkin so thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did.

    A very wonderful soup. Perfect before dinner or by itself. I skipped the green onions feeling that was just well a little too much onion. Having no light cream on hand I simply used whole milk. It is not a super pumpkin taste so for people who hate pumpkin it will surely please. For pumpkin lovers it has a great hint of it without over powering, great with fresh bread and salad. Definitely a keeper!!

    I made this for lunch on Christmas day, and while I know the holiday season is all about giving and sharing, ain't nobody getting the leftovers. I hid them. This soup is pure, unadulterated yummy.
