Earlier I saw an Ebay ad for pumpkin soup mix. It sounds delicious. But, I'll bet it's not. Have you ever had pumpkin soup? What does it taste like? Does it have more of a veggie taste? Or, is it more like fruit?
I like pumpkin by itself, but I don't think I'd like warmed up pumpkin. Sure pumpkin pie is good. But, then again it's loaded with sugar. Anything with sugar is bound to taste good.
Maybe cantelope soup? 
That could work! What do you think? What type of exotic soups would you like to create from fruits?

Yup, I've drank pumpkin soup before, and it was during a camp when I drank it. It's has a very nice texture and sweet taste, and quite a lot of people loved it during the camp too. It actually tastes better with grounded black pepper added to it, and having some crispy bread to go with the soup would be magnificent too. Gee, I would like to see some new exotic fruit soups such as watermelon soup or banana soup be created!

That actually sounds pretty good. Pureed bananas would go nicely in a cream based soup. Might try that one.

Yes, I have had pumpkin soup before. It was actually not that bad. I made it for my mom once. She really likes pumpkin and squash, so I thought that she would like it. I have actually seen recipes for Cantaloupe Soup before.
Chilled Cantaloupe Soup
INGREDIENTS
* 1 cantaloupe - peeled, seeded and cubed
* 2 cups orange juice
* 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS

2. Place cantaloupe and 1/2 cup orange juice in a blender or food processor; cover, and process until smooth. Transfer to large bowl. Stir in lime juice, cinnamon, and remaining orange juice. Cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour. Garnish with mint if desired.

I made pumpkin and sweet potato soup one Halloween and it was lovely, it has a nice texture and is sweet tasting. The sweet potato probably made it sweeter too, I have had just plain pumpkin soup too though and it is also nice. It tastes like a normal winter vegetable type soup really just a bit sweeter.

I have never heard of pumpkin soup before. Sounds like it could be good though as I like pumpkin pie and pumpkie pudding those are both good. Are you going to get some pumpkin soup to try?
