Made pumpkin soup this weekend - was rather simple, just converted a recipe.

1 can pumpkin puree
1 cup diced sweet onion
1 clove diced garlic
pinch or two of the following spices: cinnamin, nutmeg, cloves, ginger (okay more than a pinch of ginger)
sea salt
curry ( I added a curry mixture because I wanted it to be a little spicy over sweet, the recipe made it sweet, I went in the opposite direction)
substituted a dollop of honey for a 1/4 cup of coconut sugar (what is it with all the added sugar in these recipes? Not to mention packaged soups - every packaged soup or broth I looked at - had added sugar. Only Imagine Chicken broth and Healthy Nature doesn't have cane sugar in the broth.)
2 cups of chicken broth
substituted a third cup of broth and a cup of water in lieu of 2 cups of orange juice (again too much sugar)

As you add ingredients, whisk everything together in your big soup pot, and place on a low simmer.

Placed on simmer for about 10-20 minutes.

At the end added a third to a half cup of canned coconut milk in lieu of heavy cream, since I'm pretty much dairy free at the moment.

Served with a dollop of Anita's Creamline Homemade Coconut Yogurt (the best I've had but may only be available in NYC, specifically Brooklyn), or you can use sour cream or greek yogurt.

Was quite tasty. Better than expected.
