Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Fall is perfect soup weather and there isn’t much that’s better than a nice cup of pumpkin soup. I love the sweet and savory combination. Add a slice of homemade bread and you have a great lunch or light dinner to warm you up on a cold day.
You can use canned pumpkin as outlined in the recipe, or cook up some fresh pumpkin and puree it, then follow the recipe as outlined below. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
