Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of hot soup on a brisk afternoon? This deliciously roasted pumpkin soup will satisfy and soothe on any cool Autumn day.
Ultimate Creamy Pumpkin Soup
Not just for carving and roasting pumpkin seeds; pumpkins also make for a delicious ingredient in a warm and creamy soup. Luckily for us, they are available at every grocery store and big box store nearby around this time of year.
Looking back, I remember our parents growing pumpkins in our backyard. Some of those pumpkins turned out to be the largest we ever had to carve for Halloween! We attempted to grow a batch of pumpkins in our garden this past year and although they didn’t take, we did harvest a bounty of delicious and healthy squash. Guess we’ll be making plenty of creamy squash soup instead!
