Cfork?
How is this not a content fork of squash soup? As I recall and I were of the opinion that pumpkin soup doesn't constitute a separate topic, because pumpkins do not constitute a well-defined subset of squashes. Ibadibam (talk) 22:52, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Take a look at the German Wikipedia article for pumpkin soup. This is a specific soup that has been prepared in many European countries for quite some time. Per the commonality of the soup in various cultures, and that the topic is notable, I feel that the topic is better covered as a separate topic, rather than co-mingled with the general squash soup article.

 * That proves the point: German has one word for both pumpkin and other squash: Kürbis. Kürbissuppe is made from any type of Cucurbita fruit. Ibadibam (talk) 22:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Struck part of my comment above. See commentary below for more information. North America1000 11:12, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Pumpkin soup
Squash and Pumpkin soup are different en.wp articles, but in Wikidata squash soup maps to pumpkin soup, which is misleading Fuzheado &#124; Talk 17:02, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't feel that a merge based upon Wikidata matters is really the best way to start off. I typically discuss merge matters in relation to article content. North America1000 18:08, 10 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Well Wikidata is wrong, squash and pumpkin are two different things. Don't merge. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:03, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Pumpkin is a poorly defined subset of squash, the whole fruit of which has with particular cultural associations. But I would be surprised if you could tell the difference between pumpkins and any other type of squash once they're cooked into soup. A lot of food labeled for sale as pumpkin is actually made from other cultivars of squash. Ibadibam (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, see my rationale above in the Cfork? section regarding my view that this should remain as a separate article. North America1000 05:58, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * There's no need for a merge discussion. This page was boldly split off from squash soup without consensus, and I see no reason it can't be undone without further discussion. But I have a ton of respect for and wanted to give them the opportunity to defend the split. Ibadibam (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Maybe merge back after all. I have changed my mind a bit after further consideration of all of this. So, no prejudice against merging at this time. North America1000 11:11, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * If merged, I think the template should be included in the merge. North America1000 18:02, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Some squashes go by both the names "pumpkin" and "squash". There isn't a clear line. Is kabocha soup a suash soup or a pumpkin soup? --Gomuragi (talk) 11:24, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

usually bound?
The first sentence tells me that pumpkin soup is a "usually bound soup". I hadn't come across this expression before - what does it mean? Searches both here on wp and elsewhere have not yet thrown up any answers. --David Edgar (talk) 22:40, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * So I understand that it's simply a term used to mean 'thick'. (see https://www.gastronomixs.com/en/ingredients/soup) I've edited the sentence a bit to make this clear. --David Edgar (talk) 00:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
