I do, Judith. No special preparation is necessary.

I’m a little late to the game, but this looks amazing! One question. When you say pepitas, do you mean raw, hulled pumpkin seeds? Should they be prepared in a certain way beforehand?

Hi,
This soup was soooo much better than I expected. This was unbelievably delicious. I just roasted the onion along with everything else to save myself cooking/clean-up time. It worked perfectly. My Dad & his neighbors grow a huge 2 acre garden all year long ( we live on the SC coast). There are more rutabagas than an army could eat. So, I am so pleased to find such a great recipe for them. I am getting pretty bored with the standard puree recipes out there. This was different, but super easy & simple.

Thanks so much, Jenn

Prior to pumpkins being readily available in the UK and Ireland (a relatively recent development), swedes/rutabagas were hollowed out and carved with faces to make lanterns for Halloween. Often called “jack o’lanterns”, or “tumshie lanterns” in Scotland, they were the ancient symbol of a damned soul.

Love ‘bagas lots. They are a tradition boiled and mashed with butter and served on our Thanksgiving table. I roast them with potatoes, sweet and white and any other kind I have, carrots, onions and garlic. Yummy. Try in soups and stews or roasts ( I know this is a vegan site. Sorry.) Thanks for this great sounding soup. Can’t wait to try it.

I saw this recipe during my normal Friday afternoon food blog reading and thought, yum. I thought about it all weekend, but could NOT remember where I found it — looked everywhere, but I have a different blog list saved at home! It was driving me nuts!

I am making this for Thanksgiving. Cannot wait to give it a try.

Made this tonight - it was delicious! Really rich and creamy. Somehow tasted like I remember my mom’s turkey stuffing used to taste… I gave a taste to a few other people and they agreed it tasted like stuffing! It’s strange to think of a soup tasting like stuffing but it was actually really tasty! Thank you

Do you think it would be similar if I used 1.5 cups of veg broth (homemade and delish) and half a cup of soy or coconut milk?
