If it hasn't got too much nutmeg in it, I would add curry paste, ginger and coconut cream.

Cumin & a little garlic, about a tsp. of each. I've had this myself, tasless not ripe enough pumpkin is the cause. I found that cumin makes up a lot of the flavour. A good grind of black pepper helps too!

I'm a bit confused! My pumkin soup is a a wee bit of onion fryed in butter chuch in the pumpkin and half cover with chickn stock. then blitz.When you say tasteless. is it rubbish pumpkin!Or are you used to something more! When I'm being cheap I add a few potatoes. but I also love a bit of kumera thrown in, and maybe parsnip if it's cheap enough. Serve with crusty bread a bit of sour cream and black pepper.

'Tasteless' pumpkin soup usually means it was made from a watery, unripe pumpkin.

Yes I think it was a unripe watery pumpkin as it is awful. Being a fundraiser they may have been a bit light of the extra bits.So I will try some of these ideas and see how I get on. It's a shame really and I love pumpkin soup but not this lot.
Either chilli pwd or curry powder will give it a lift.

Pumpkin soup made without stock is usually quite tasteless.

Oh dear, I hope you're feeling OK Sukkie. Please Please, don't get mad with all Eels who love you very much and porlabby didn't mean to hurt you. To those new eels (or temporary fans), please oblige by our prince's rule. It should not be that difficult just to ONLY look at him and touch him when given permission. I love to see our Sukkie in happy mood When he smiles, I smile. When he laughs, I laugh. His laugh is soooo contagious.
