Pumpkin Soup with Sourdough Sage Croutons image

We love soup in our home, and I'm a big fan of the cream-style kind. Thanksgiving inspired this recipe-it has all the traditional smells that fill the air during the holiday season. You could also make this with butternut squash. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California
