This is a classic pumpkin soup but with a spicy flare with the addition of Louisiana Hot Sauce. But you can control the amount of spiciness or heat by adding more or less of the hot sauce. And this soup also contains a couple of tablespoons of bourbon which could be optional but it really adds a unique flavor that we love.

Add bourbon and bring to a boil and saute for a couple of minutes for the alcohol to cook off and leave the flavor. But be careful when cooking with alcohol, it will flame if in contact with an open flame.

Add your roast pumpkin (or canned pumpkin), chicken broth, and marjoram to the sauteed onion mixture.

Add 1/2 tsp of Tabasco to this roast pumpkin soup but you could add more or less depending on your spiciness level. Then bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes
