+1. If anyone can post a nice pumpkin one that would be great.

That's awesome, and sans cream extra healthy too. And even vegan! Sounds like a winner all around.
Question: Is the ginger in the recipe supposed to be fresh or dried?

Random thought: I wonder if roasting some of the veggies and adding them to the soup after you blend it would make it even tastier.

I would think roasting them would be great. I am thinking 1/2 pumpkin 1/2 squash (since I don't really care for pumpkin and need to think of some things to do with it it since the pumpkin plants look as if they are doing very well...).
