Hawaiian Kona Coffee Pumpkin Soup Recipe

It is October and the Fall Season is here announced by pumpkins beginning to fill the aisles of the supermarkets in Hawaii. (I would love to buy a large pumpkin for $5.00 like in the photo!) As the days and nights get chillier, a steaming bowl of this delicious pumpkin soup with a Hawaiian twist, is sure to get rave reviews. If you need some authentic Kona coffee shipped to you direct from the Big Island, we can help!

Hmmm . . . now this is an interesting recipe. Have you tried it yet?

I was just thinking the same thing as Kailani! It looks good... cream of pumpkin soup! I think over time you could figure out what else to add that would work with it too! I think you need to taste it before thinking of things to add. I love cream of anything soup! :)

I haven't tried it yet, but figured anything with that much half and half would taste good!
