Hello! If you have just discovered this recipe, you must be a lover of all things pumpkin OR you had an abundance of pumpkins that you didn’t want to go to waste. Whatever the case, you must try this savory, pumpkin soup recipe. This isn’t your grandma’s pumpkin pie soup. No, this is more of a savory, not sweet, pumpkin soup.
My husband was leery to trying pumpkin soup but being the great man that he is, he gave it a try. Guess what?!?! He liked it!!! My favorite way to serve this soup is with a dollop of sour cream and crunchy sourdough croutons.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. If you do, I would love to hear from you!
