Who cannot like a decent pumpkin soup?

Try as I might, the only way I really like tofu is cooked in
something like a soup of curry... definitely not fried. I can eat it
fried but I can't say I really enjoy it. Plus, IMO isn't the
healthiest of things to eat regularly, fermented soy products like
tempeh are fine though.
