Directions
Chipotle-Pumpkin Soup, This is a nice twist on traditional pumpkin soup Chipotle chiles give this soup a pleasant heat and smokiness without making it too spicy Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a light drizzle of pumpkin seed oil, This is one of the spiciest dishes I have ever eaten The flavor was difficult to taste through the spiciness I put cinnamon and sour cream on the soup to make it bearable If made again, it will have less of the spicy chiles so the pumpkin flavor can come through , Wagons ho! The pumpkins are moving west This soup has the warm smoky flavor of the southwest with the color of the Arizona mounts Made as written Garnishing with a dollop of sour cream with lime is a must for this wonderful soup as it adds so much to the depth of it’s flavor Thanks so much for the post
