I love Olives Gourmet Grocer! Their food is freaking delicious and with their being a lack of places to eat near where I live Olives gets many of my $$$. It’s not cheap but it’s all sooo worth it. They are similar to Whole Food, which we don’t have in the LBC, but MUCH smaller. Their sandwiches ROCK and so do their desserts, especially the chocolate chip cookies.

So, I was very happy to see this Spiced Pumpkin Soup on their shelves. I saw it in January but had never seen it before nor since. I’d already ordered my turkey and brie sandwich on olive bread when I saw it.

The soup did not displease :0) It was creamy and tasted like pumpkin but could also passed for a creamy carrot soup. There was a strong nutmeg flavor but it went well with the flavor.

I’m not a big fan of creamy soups. I prefer mine with some big chunks of noodles and vegetables. However this soup was quite good. Olives has yet to disappoint.
