Does anyone have any savory canned pumpkin uses? I have heard of a pumpkin curry soup but that's about it. I was hoping to use some of the canned pumpkin I have as a side dish tonight for dinner.

Canned pumpkin + 1 box Pillsbury sugar free devil's food cake mix (just those 2 things) will make 24 mini cupcakes at 66 calories each. My kids scarf them down.0

interesting that your question was for "savory" pumpkin recipes --- i hadn't considered that
so i looked around and i found this: http://12most.com/2011/10/18/12-savory-pumpkin-recipes/
12 Most Savory Pumpkin Recipes
several of the recipes simply suggest switching canned pumpkin for tomato paste, and adjusting the herbs/spices accordingly
i can't wait to try a couple myself!
thanks for the challenging question

It's not the most sophisticated thing- I empty the can into a bowl and freeze it until thick. Then I sprinkle cinnamon on top and eat it like ice cream.0

I just made some delish pumpkin chicken chili modified from a recipe on wholefoods.com site. I didn't have turkey so used chicken instead and added in more vegetables and it turned out great and very filling.

I eat canned pumpkin like I would any other squash. I mix some chicken base in it and eat it instead of a starch portion (instead of rice or potatoes).0

I read a recipe once about pumpkin risotto (didn't try it, and don't have it, but it might be right along what you want) on the whole foods website, I think. It sounded pretty good.
Also, this recipe suggests pumpkin as a potential substitution for butternut squash, and I'm pretty much obsessed with it, it's sooooooooo good. http://ohsheglows.com/2011/10/24/black-bean-and-butternut-squash-burritos/0 -
