Notes
A blender is used to produce a smooth a creamy soup. You can also use an immersion blender and blend everything together in the pot at the end to get the same result.
Top your pumpkin soup with a dollop of sour cream, fresh parsley, or even crumbled bacon bits to help elevate the flavor.
When roasting the pumpkin and other ingredients, use a sheet of parchment paper on the baking dish to make for easier clean up.
