Diabetic Pumpkin Soup image

This year (2006), I have resolved to take better care of my diabetes. Well, actually it was more of an order from my doctor. He told me either to straighten up or find a new doctor. Big wake up call! for me because I love Todd to death. He made it possible for me to be as healthy as I am today (even though that's not as healthy as I could be). So, I have set to arrange my cookbooks, kitchen, & life to make sure that I have diabetes but it don't have me. I love pumpkin and I prefer a sweet soup to a savory one. This one works for me.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out too thick. I had to add more water to thin it out.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat more vegetables. My kids love the sweet taste of the pumpkin and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

This soup is delicious, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less maple syrup next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree, but it's not very flavorful. I think it needs more spices and herbs.
