Spanish Smurf was always so misunderstood. While all the other smurfs liked to eat blue Smurf soup, Spanish Smurf was always creating wild and hearty concoctions. Plus he thought it was strange to use blue food coloring in soup. He just didn’t think that his food had to match his skin tone. Anyway, the exotic aromas coming from his house always scared the other smurfs. One day, Gargamel the evil human was strolling by the village when he smelled Spanish Smurf’s soup. “What is that fabulous food you are cooking?” he demanded to know! Spanish Smurf suddenly felt understood. So what if Gargamel was a human and wasn’t blue? So what if he always tried to wipe out their village? Here was someone who appreciated his soup! So he invited him in for a bowl. “This soup is genius! I mean – so many wonderful spices! So hearty. Butternut Squash! Chickpeas! Paprika! Cinnamon! What a lovely soup to help usher in the fall. Bravo, Spanish Smurf.” Spanish Smurf thanked Gargamel. Then they went on a hike to look at the foliage.

What a PERFECT soup for such a cold and dreary day! This soup, along with the pita chips, really hit the spot. I ordered a quart, but wish I had ordered more. I am hopeful you will offer this soup again. PS: I miss the cornbread.
This was wonderful. I loved the soft chickpeas and squash. Please bring this one back soon!
I loved this soup’s texture and flavor, especially its “cinnamony” overtones.
I wasn’t a huge fan of this soup. It was a little tangy for me. It almost — and i know this sounds weird — tasted like lemon juice was one of the ingredients. Oh well. Next week!
Liked it…very much…but didn’t love it. Good texture, but I thought the flavors weren’t as innovative as the previous soups. Very satisfying flavors and very filling so I’d order again, but it’s not my #1 choice.
