This recipe I saw on Rachel Ray’s website but I tweaked it to a healthier version and added turkey kielbasa. I had purchased some pie pumpkins from a local farmer’s market and decided to roast them. I had some pumpkin puree left over and made the soup for the first time. It was delicious. Now when I am pressed for time and cannot roast pie pumpkins, I purchase organic pumpkin puree. This happens to be one of my favorite soups that I make quite a bit in the fall and the wintertime. The soup freezes well and it is good with a green salad or crusty toasted bread and butter. Enjoy!
