TURKEY WILD RICE PUMPKIN SOUP
I found this recipe in The Favorite Brand Names Cookbook and posted it before trying it. After I made it, I am glad that I posted. I have the ingredient listing below as the book called for, but I wound up adding an extra half cup of cream after a reader suggested that it was neither a broth nor cream soup and I thought it rounded it out nicely. I also followed the advice of another reviewer and used Pumpkin Pie Filling instead of solid pack pumpkin and then skipped the cinnamon and I thought it was great. I hope you enjoy it! (PS - I freezes and thaws pretty good. I had it frozen for 5 months and it held up well when I reheated it)

- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a good quality wild rice: Wild rice is a more expensive than regular rice, but it has a nutty flavor and chewy texture that makes it perfect for this soup.
- Don't overcook the wild rice: Wild rice takes longer to cook than regular rice, but it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy.
- Add some spice: This soup is mild in flavor, so you can add some spice to it if you like. Cayenne pepper, chili powder, or cumin are all good options.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: A dollop of sour cream or yogurt will add a creamy richness to the soup.
