Creamy Pumpkin Soup Recipe
That first touch of cold weather, the first frost, the first pumpkin cut from the patch. These things signal to many that it’s time to pack up the BBQ grill and pull out the big soup pot.
We welcome fall and all it has to offer like we would welcome a long lost friend. Summer has started to fade and we start festively cooking our fall recipes! Pumpkin soup is one of those recipes or dishes that just tastes like fall.

*If you chop the onions very fine in a food processor before cooking, they will simply melt into the soup and you won’t need to blend in a blender for creaminess.
