I tasted a delicious soup in a restaurant but couldn't persuade the chef to share the recipe, so...
I began to experiment on my own. Finally, I came up with this blend, which is very close to what I tasted—maybe even better!

This year, I had pumpkins from a local farm, but only enough time to make something in the slow cooker!
The apples set the soup off perfectly. If using fresh pumpkin, be sure to puree it well to avoid stringy soup. ^
