PUMPKIN GARLIC SOUP
My husband makes this for me every fall and I can't live without it. You can make without the wine but it helps. You could serve this in little pumpkins to make more festive. Better the 2nd day. *I have adjusted this recipe a bit after making it a few times more.

Tips:
- Make sure to choose the right type of pumpkin or squash for your soup. Some varieties, such as butternut squash and kabocha squash, are better suited for soups than others.
- If you don't have time to roast your own pumpkin or squash, you can use canned pumpkin or squash puree. Just be sure to choose a good quality brand that doesn't contain any added sugar or preservatives.
- Don't be afraid to add other vegetables to your soup, such as carrots, celery, or onions. This will help to add flavor and texture.
- If you want a creamy soup, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Just be careful not to over-blend it, or the soup will become too thick.
- Season your soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to balance out the flavors.
- Garnish your soup with fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
