Jerri's Pumpkin Soup
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!

More About This Recipe
I like to double or triple the amount of cumin and hot sauce in the recipe.
I did not have regular cumin on hand, so used black cumin and added 1 tablespoon of ground turmeric.
Tasted wonderful and will surely make again!
