Pumpkin Soup

I love soup.  Really, really love soup.

I love to make soup for dinner…even in the middle of summer

But what better time of year to enjoy soup than right now!

The weather is perfect to enjoy a bowl of hot soup for dinner.

Add a side salad or a loaf of warm crusty bread and you have a wonderful meal for dinner.

This pumpkin soup recipe is easy to make for a weeknight family dinner yet fancy

enough to make for company or to serve as a first course for Thanksgiving.

If you have a pretty pumpkin soup tureen, serve it in that when company comes over.  

AND if you want to make it even prettier, why not hollow out a pumpkin and serve the soup from that.

 

Of course, if you use a hollowed out pumpkin to serve your soup in, 

save some of the pumpkin seeds to garnish the soup.
