Notes

This is soup is something I learned how to make in Jamaica.  It’s a staple there and made in most homes every weekend.  They use real pumpkins.   But, I made it easier with canned pumpkins.  This is so fun to serve during the holidays! At Halloween serve it in a small hollowed out pumpkin.  Thin  out some sour cream with a bit of milk and put in a ziplock bag.  Cut the corner and use the bag to pipe a spider web.  What fun! The kids will love it! Grownups too.  I usually double this recipe to make a bigger batch.

  1. This sounds great and looks beautiful!! But you simply must try some Himalayan pink salt. I get mine from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com. The flavor is so much better than regular salt! Thanks for sharing this recipe—I can’t wait to try it!
