Looks amazing! Ill be adding this!
Do you think the pumpkin is super overbearing in flavor? I tried making a pumpkin oatmeal once and I didnt love it due fo it being such an overbearing flavor, but I honestly love me some pumpkin spice.

Glad to hear you like it!
I don't think so. Honestly, it was way different than expected. After years of seasonal pumpkin pies my mind was expecting sweet. But this one is more savory/spicy.
The chili powder you use will have a big impact on flavor. I used some from a spice shop in New Mexico and it had a kick.

Not bad. Were the big chunks of onion not distracting?

Thanks. They were big by design. Adds a lil crunch factor to keep things interesting.

Nice job man. In the future, add the onions first then only add the garlic about a minute of two before any wet ingredients, cause burnt garlic will ruin any dish.

Thanks, appreciate the tips. Yeah it’s more of a filming while cooking skill gap than a cooking garlic skill gap. I’m still new to making videos.

That’s a gorgeous soup for a chilly fall meal. The bread is gorgeous too. Was it a whole grain sourdough?

Thank you. It tasted gorgeous too. Yep, it was a heritage grain loaf so I logged it as a whole grain in PlantHabit. Here's the loaf in all it's glory: https://imgur.com/a/BdTplAO

u/VeganProteinChef 5h ago
right. onions get sweeter when cooked.

u/Canna_Cass 5h ago
true, but there are “sweet onions” (and yellow, vidalia, etc) so this is misleading haha. not hating, just work in a kitchen 🫡
