Is pumpkin a fruit or a vegetable. I can't find it listed anywhere. I would think it is in the squash family. I really want to make a pumpkin soup. Any help is appreciated.

It doesn't show up anywhere except on the SBD book's Glycemic Index. It's a veggie, and it's got the highest GI of all of them (107). I first thought it meant canned pumpkin since that might have sugar added, but it looks like Dr. A's list is for fresh veggies. Go figure!
