  1. I made this the other day and it was really good. It takes a while just to cook through the stock but its worth the extra time. Very good.

    1. There are some out there, if you check the packaging for ‘vegetarian rennet’ you might find some in your area.

    1. Hi Heather, the recipe calls for canned pumpkin which should be pureed, so absolutely, add pureed pumpkin if you make your own!

  2. This was delicious. I did want to say that I put in vegan Parmesan cheese and instead of the heavy whipping cream, I used some homemade vegan sour cream and it was still so good.
