Creamy, smooth, and full of flavor. The use of ginger and cinnamon croutons make this recipe more interesting. (image by Flickr user MarkyBon) MORE+ LESS-

1

Preheat oven to 400° F(200°C). Combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread butter mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice. Place bread, buttered side up, on a baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until bread is crisp and topping is bubbly. Cut each slice of bread into 8 small triangles or squares.
2

Saute onion in butter in a medium saucepan until tender. Add 1 can chicken broth; stir well. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
3

Transfer broth mixture into the container of a blender or processor. Process until smooth.
4

Return mixture to saucepan. Add remaining can of broth, pumpkin, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground pepper; stir well. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5

Stir in whipping cream and heat through but do not boil! Ladle into individual soup bowls and top each with cinnamon croutons.
