Hearty Pumpkin Chowder (or Butternut Squash) image

Warm, filling and savory! This is a rich easy chunky homemade soup that really satisfies. I leave out the ham and use vegetable stock sometimes and it becomes a yummy vegetarian dish.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.
