Can you make 'lumpy' pumpkin soup? I mean, of course you *can* but does anyone make chunky punk'n? Or does it seem like its not quite finished?

I like soup (but have never made it , BUT am going to give it a good go this winter), but the Man doesn't. Something to do with it being the only thing he could eat for a few months while his jar was wired after his big bike accident. Just found out though, that he WILL eat soup, but not if its smooth, iykwim. Like chunky vege soup. And he luurves pumpkin.

And can you get away with using stock powder instead of the real mccoy?
