Notes
1. Always use fresh, good quality pumpkins for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using canned pumpkin puree as it can be very watery and lack flavor.
2. If you’re using canned or frozen pumpkin puree, be sure to add some fresh herbs for extra flavor, such as thyme, oregano, rosemary or sage.
3. If you like a smooth, creamy soup, purée it in a blender or food processor until it reaches the desired consistency. For a heartier texture, you can leave some chunks in the soup for added texture.
