This French Tomato Pumpkin Soup is a recipe that was given to me by a friend! It’s a popular soup in Wichita.
Last month while reading through some new food blogs, I found Lindsay’s blog, The Lean Green Bean, and read about Foodie PenPals. It’s a group that Lindsay put together for Food Bloggers and Food Lovers. That’s where this French Tomato Pumpkin Soup recipe came from!
Foodie Pen Pals is just that “Pen Pals” for Foodies! But before I go into what exactly Foodie PenPals is, let me brag a little bit about the box that I received from my Foodie Pen Pal. Angie Elliot received my name and she sent me this box full of goodies.
I got:
Sunflower Oil — which I had never heard of, haven’t used it yet, but I will be using it soon.
Snickerdoodle Cookies — Which hubby almost attacked me for haha. He pretty much ate them all.
Apple Cranberry Butter — which is perfect on buttermilk biscuits.
and
A Recipe for French Tomato Pumpkin Soup! Which I made for you. Ok, well I made it for Big Bear and I , but if you were here I would share! Promise!
Angie (yes we have the same name haha), said that this is one of her favorite soups from a local restaurant in Wichita.
**Side Note.. My cousin is in Wichita right now, she’s in the Air Force and I am so proud of her, Hi Rachel!!!**
So when I first read this recipe Tomato Pumpkin Soup didn’t really sound to appealing.I knew I wanted to try it, thought. I mean really, the only time I think of Pumpkin, I think of Pumpkin Pie. Since I’m always willing to try new recipes, this made it to the dinner table tonight 🙂
This soup is incredible. And yes I am aware that it’s hot outside but I’m weird and I can eat soup year round.
