Easy Pumpkin Soup

Nothing says fall like the rich orange hue of this Easy Pumpkin Soup. This simple recipe, with just a few ingredients, means the pumpkin is the absolute star of the show. You can use pumpkin or squash – the squash usually brings a sweeter flavor, while the pumpkin is deeper and more earthy. I finish this soup with some cream to make it extra luxurious, but you can skip this if you want to make it vegan.

If you want a little texture, reserve the pumpkin or squash seeds, bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crisp and then sprinkle them over when you come to serve. Add a big hunk of crusty bread and it’s the perfect dish for a chilly fall or winter evening!
