I've posted a Best of the Best Recipe earlier for a favorite Pumpkin Soup Recipe, Hotel Bristol's Soupe de Courge a la Creme. I've been making that recipe since 1976.
Here's a more simple version of Pumpkin Soup.
6 C broth, (Vegetarian or Chicken)
2 cans (15oz.) pumpkin puree
1 C chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp fresh chopped thyme
5 whole black peppercorns
1/2 C heavy cream
fresh chopped parsley or chopped fresh chives for garnish
In a large soup pot:, on medium heat:
Broth
Pumpkin
Onion
salt
Garlic
Thyme
Pepper Corns
Stir Well
Bring to a boil
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
With an immersion stick blender, puree the soup.
Bring heat to medium (uncovered)
Bring to a boil
Reduce heat to low
Simmer an additional 30 minutes
Remove from heat
Stir in Heavy Cream
Serve each bowl garnished with fresh chopped parsley or chives
Enjoy!

Amazing Vegetarian Sausage !
This is just a testimonial for my fellow vegetarians. Tonight I make an Italian Sausage to accompany stir fried Italian Vegetables.
I also have it in a Mexican Chipotle and Smoked Apple Sage.
They make many other products. Check them out.
Field Roast is the brand.
It's Artisan Vegan Original Grain Meat Italian Sausage, with eggplant, fennel, fresh garlic and red pepper.
I took them out of the freezer, steamed them in a saute pan of water to thaw them
Then, the instructions direct you to remove the casing and either pan fry them or grill them.
I heated some olive oil in a non stick skillet and briefly fried them. They browned and I removed them.
I think they have other flavors too.
It's the best vegetarian sausage I've ever tasted.
Enjoy!
