Soak a packet of Soup Mix in water overnight, or you can add it straight away if you want. Fry an onion, garlic and bacon. Boil jug and make up vege or beef stock. Chuck it all into pot with chopped up pumpkin.boil for 3/4 an hour.taste and add pepper or more salt.or garlic.

Yes, and much nicer than multiple teaspoons of artificial flavours.

Friend revived some watered down soup (extra guests).She fried up some bacon pieces til nicely crisp.Then removed the bacon and sauteed onions, garlic and leeks in that bacon flavoured oil.Then in went the insipid soup, with a cpl TBs tomato puree, some leftover cooked carrot (etc).Once tasted, it was seasoned (nutmeg, chilli, tobasco, as desired), a few drops of maggi liquid seasoning, and then heated through and blended.The carrots & tomato puree livened up the colour and flavour and the carrots helped thicken it too.She stirs in fresh cream to heat through or makes a white sauce.
Another cash strapped friend also dilutes her soup to stretch and so boosts the flavour with packets of those powdered chicken soup mixes.

I always add cumin, coriander and fresh ginger to my pumpkin soup and sometimes a dollop of sour cream or natural yoghurt with a swirl of sweet chilli sauce when I serve it

That's a great idea - I might try that.I bought some of the 100% Nutz peanut butter and I don't like it because it's not salted.How much do you add!

I always add a litre container of Campbells vegetable or chicken stock to mine as well as grated, fresh nutmeg to my taste.

Curry, dash of garlic, chicken stock, thyme, dash of nutmeg, bacon bits. Any/or a combination of these things.

Some beef or chicken stock powder will usually perk up any soup. Sometimes you may have to add a bit of onion, or garlic or bacon or herbs - and sometimes, all it needs is salt/pepper, and maybe a spoonful of brown sugar. Try the combinations. Never throw it out. If nothing else works, you can always addmore of the main, or other vegetable(s)!

I was in hospital and another patient's visitor gave us delicious chicken soup.Apparently she simmers the usual chicken frames, onions, spud, carrots, celery, stock.Then she tosses in a little leftover pumpkin soup (4 servings) and other leftover veg soups (frozen or from the fridge), for added flavours and thickening.It was delicious,

1-2 teaspoons of pre-made good quality Thai Red Curry Paste added when you put the water or stock in makes the world of difference to the flavour of the soup.

I add a can of watties pumpkin soup concentrate, the original recipe type can.
Istart off by sauteeing onion and cubes of pumpkin (approx half a med-large pumpkin), until soft, then add some garlic, curry powder, ginger, the can of soup and quite alot of water.
