Jerri's Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Jerri's Pumpkin Soup Notes

Originally this was my friend Diane's recipe, but I altered it a bit. I've often made this soup in very large quantities, when feeding vast amounts of people, at this time of year. I've become famous for this. People love it, and demand it every year for annual get-togethers.

A sure winner--guaranteed!
