BACHELOR'S CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP

Bachelor's Creamy Pumpkin Soup image

This scrumptious and hearty soup is perfect for those short on time or reluctant to tackle cumbersome fresh pumpkin and garlic prep. It makes a wonderfully satisfying and surprising meal for fall and winter dinner guests. I serve this delectable soup with crusty bread and grilled vegetables; it would also complement a roast.
