HCG – Pumpkin soup and Pizza bread

last week my class made pumpkin soup along with pizza bread, both of our dishes had quite easy recipes and were quick to make with the help of a few hands.  In my group was me, Anita, Marcia and Maumahara.  Below is the recipe and method we used for our spicy pumpkin soup, in my opinion I think the soup was really nice and warm for a rainy day.
