This soup was delicious & was so quick to make. My kids didn't care for the andouille sausage as it was to spicey so I'll use a milder sausage next time. Here's my full review & photos http://muminbloom.blogspot.com/2011/01/pumpkin-barley-and-sage-soup.html

this is just wonderful; easy to prepare. I substitute a carton of Swanson's chicken broth for the 4 cups of water and chicken bouillon. Otherwise, follow it exactly and it is just wonderful.

I used a fresh pumpkin for this that I was stashing away for a tasty soup and feel I wasted it. The taste was ruined by the vinegar in my opinion and I could do nothing to recover from it. A bit of cream helped a little. Not my favorite.
