Notes from the cookbook: Prior to judging a cooking contest sponsored by our newspaper several years ago, I never once had considered the pumpkin as anything other than a sculptural medium for Halloween and the stuff of Thanksgiving pies and breads. This soup recipe was submitted in that contest by a woman who said that she got the recipe while visiting Ottawa, Canada, where it is a popular autumn dish. I was a little skeptical about the combination of ingredients til I tasted it. I have been serving it ever since. I have since found other pumpkin soup recipe but none of them has come close to matching this one for flavor and ease or preparation I especially enjoy serving it for company in a hollowed out cooked pumpkin "tureen".
