Why does the thought of soup for lunch always feel so unappealing, but then you have it and it's delicious and you wonder why you don't have it more often?

    I think I subconsciously associate soup with bad things - like being sick, poor, etc, when in reality it really is so delicious.

    Still never met a pumpkin soup I like though.

    I was never given soup when I was sick, so it can't be that. Sick food was always dry crackers and flat lemonade.

    Pumpkin soup is often pretty yucky. I don't mind it with a reasonable amount of curry in it, or the one I had today had a lot of chicken stock to give it flavour. Pumpkin on it's own is just boring mush that is often a bit too sweet. It also had a fair few other vegetables in it, so it wasn't just watered down pumpkin puree like a lot seem to be.

    like being sick

    Me too. After making so many for ol' girl over the last few years I'm skipping right past it if I'm ever out at a restaurant. Shame really because some of the ones I've when out years ago have been amazing. If the soup has solids that's okay but if just pureed no can do :(

    My guts needs to chew something so unless it comes with a crusty bread roll it's just flavoured water to me.

    i've got some cheese & herb scrolls I made to go with it. I think they need to be a bit cheesier though, and the next batch I might add some bacon too. If I don't have something like that cheese on toast is my preference for vegetable soups.
