Very nice 👍🏻💕💕
Amazing. ❤❤❤
I will make. I have a small and large pumpkin. Make with veggie broth and vegan cream. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏♥️
How Jacque Pepin carves a Halloween pumpkin! My favorite T.V chef of all times! ❤
Maybe endorse the soup with your picture on the front. Some company to manufacture. Bet it will sell. 😂
Happy cooking, Chef! And, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! 🎃🦃🧡🙋♀️

That was chicken broth, not stock. There's a substantial difference.
Whenever I make butternut squash soup I always roast instead of boiling. The flavor is so much richer!
I have quite few kabocha squash left from my garden and wondered what else I could do and this is perfect!
Are kabocha pumpkins available in grocery stores? I'm guessing that the pumpkin sold at Halloween / Thanksgiving might not work well. Other pumpkins or other squashes that might be good substitutes? Acorn squashes for a party of two?
Excellent
Pumpkin tends to be quite sweet and less dense than an an acorn squash, so it wouldn't be my first choice for a squash-based soup. But I think the idea is great and it will be an American Thanksgiving hit. I thought the pumpkin would collapse and leak after cooking but it looks great!
As Julia would say that presentation looks lovely.
wholly shit,,,, need to make this
Could you please replace bird flu chicken stock in tetra packs with organic vegetable stock ? It will taste richer & much more flavourful, thank you . . .
I love you so much pumpkin soup
The G.O.A.T. says, "You've got to use one of those things." 😆
So much useful knowledge for free! Thank you, Jacques Pepin!
A little bit of mild vinegar will refine the taste even more.
Beautiful, simple recipe. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thank you for all your expertise and instruction.
I make pumpkin soup constantly, my wife’s coworkers request it all of the time. I love the fall when sugar pumpkins are in season. I don’t serve in the pumpkin however, but it’s a great presentation.
