Scroll down to the end to see some adventurous variation ideas to the basic soups.
Best Pumpkins For Making Soup
Let me start by stating that the best pumpkins ever are those you grow yourself: YUM!
By experimenting with different-sized pumpkins, I have found that the ones that make the best-tasting soups are the smaller sized varieties that some people call "Baby Bear" or "sugar pumpkins" because they provide more flesh than seeds and are not as stringy as some larger pumpkins.
A long time ago, I served pumpkin soup at a dinner party in soup bowls made from Baby Bear pumpkins and caused a bit of a sensation 😉
The mellow flavor of pumpkins goes with all kinds of things to make delicious and healthy soup recipes.

Chili Chocolate Pumpkin Soup
OK, so maybe I have lost my head on this one, but why not? I've heard of chili chocolate. And since chocolate goes great in pumpkin cake and pumpkin cookies, I decided to experiment with adding chili and chocolate to pumpkin soup.
I added half a teaspoon of chili powder and some chocolate shavings as a sort of garnish. I used the shavings just in case I needed to scrape them off the top of the soup if it tasted weird.
Since I always have dark chocolate in the house (one of my worst weaknesses), I used my chocolate shaver to shave several thin, curly pieces chocolate off the chocolate bar. I added three or four pieces of these shavings on top of a bowl of basic pumpkin soup. The blend of sweet dark chocolate and chili was out of this world.
