So does this taste sweet? I'm not sure I would like a sweet soup. --DJ
MJR says it wasn't sweet. I would say it is a little sweet but not as much as you would think. After all it is the sugar in pumpkin pie that makes it sweet. The cinnamon and nutmeg bring out the flavor--but you might be surprised and decide you like it. -rlr
