This is a highly classified recipe, so much so, that the only recipe known to man is locked away in the mind of my friend, Chef Joe.
Joe is the executive Chef at Brooks Place Tavern, the restaurant where I'm currently employed. I call Chef Joe the "Soup Dude", because he is a stellar soup creator. His other foods are extremely good but the gift for soup making runs deep in his soul.
I've asked Joe for several of his famous soup recipes only to be denied! Pfft! Really, the nerve of the guy! As a home cook and food blogger I can't help but share my recipes with the world. On the other hand, I can understand Joe's unwillingness to divulge his secret recipes for fear of being copied and used by a competitor! I guess I'll have to cut him a little slack...this time!
Joe's Pumpkin Pie Soup is the bomb! The very first time I tried a taste, the flavors literally moved me to tears. Leave it to me to get all verklempt over a bowl of soup. The rich pumpkin flavor balanced by the pumpkin pie seasoning and savory base is pure nirvana! What I wouldn't give for a bowl of that hot, creamy heaven! So, what am I to do without the recipe?
There's a simple answer to that question. My passion for recreating dishes that evoke sweet memories is what this blog is all about.
Here's my version of Chef Joe's Pumpkin Pie Soup, I hope it brings as much joy to you as it has to me!
These beautiful Awards were past on to me by Biren at Roti and Rice. I've learned so much about food blogging and all that goes with it from Biren. She is a master food blogger, stylist and food photographer. Thank you Biren for bestowing me with the honor!
As part of the awards presentation I'm to share 7 things about myself and then pass the awards onto 15 of my favorite blogger friends...so here it goes!
1. I will eat just about anything you set in front of me.
2. I won't eat cooked raisins, goat cheese or lamb.
3. I want to be a snowbird; living on the Florida Gulf Coast in the Winter months and in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the Summer months. Guess I need a better job!
4. I'm a food competitor junkie!
5. I adore my French Press coffee maker!
6. I also adore my newest kitchen gadget; Cuisinart coffee grinder. I purchased it for $1.75 using my Kohls' coupons.
7. I have a small addiction to makeup and hair products.

Hi Anette, You'll have to try some pumpkin! It's delicious in so many dishes!!How are things in Norway?Romez, Thank you so much! It's so nice to meet you! I appreciate the follow on Pinterest! I'll be by to follow both your blog and Pinterest sites!Hi Karen, I think this soup would translate very well into a crock pot dish. Prep all the ingredients the night before and then leave them in the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours, add the cream about 30 minutes before you serve the dish! Let me know how it turns out!Jen, I'm happy to join in the Alexa Hop. I plan to stop by and catch up on some of the blogs I missed. Biren, I meant every word♥Not Your Ordinary, Happy to share the blog love!!heinzemom, so nice to meet you! Have followed you and will do an Alexa review of your site asap!Rochelle, thank you for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment! I hope you enjoy a big bowl of this yummy soup!

Biren highly recommends you!Gloria, I totally understand not posting the awards. You know I love your art so just wanted to acknowledge my appreciation! xo
Gloria
Oh that soup looks delish. I have some butternut squash and it's getting that time of year for soups. Thank you Rebecka for the awards I truly appreciate it but I have to tell you that I don't do awards any longer. I accept them as I am doing now but I don't post them any longer because...wanna know why??..:) They slow the computer down. Honestly thank you very much for the beautiful awards and I do accept them.
Katherine Martinelli
What a fabulous recipe!! I'm so glad you recreated it for us. I can't wait to try. I also loved reading the facts about you! I only recently learned to love goat cheese, still only like lamb sometimes (rarely), and am obsessed with my French press. Thanks so much for linking your pumpkin recipe up over at my linky party!!
