for vegetarian try using vege stock instead of chickend...works with every recipie I have tried
 
I'm sure that's fine. It would probably give it a slightly thinner taste, but vegetarians would be used to that :)
 
PS. The tomatoe paste is purely for colour. The weird secret of pumpkin soup is that it's actually _yellow_ and looks a lot like creamed corn if you don't add the red colour to it :)
