This is a wonderful, delicious, holiday soup that is just awesome! I made this using my basic recipe (for a girls home this weekend) and then changed it a little by adding gingersnaps as a thickener, the result is really awesome! Read more ! It is rather thick so if you want it thinner, use less ginger snaps! Also the times are approximate and serving will vary ( I served 20 small bowls with a lot left over) depending on serving size! You can probably get 20 servings easily! Ingredients:
3 cans solid pumpkin(libby's) not pumpkin pie filling |
1 stick butter |
1 onion, chopped |
1/2 bell pepper, chopped |
4 or 5 cloves garlic, minced |
