Pumpkin Soup Base Recipe image

I bought a big pumpkin from the market this morning. I've made a basic soup which I'll freeze then add various ingredients to it when I thaw it out and reheat it. I think each portion would serve 5-6 people.

  • Blend or process until smooth.

This soup is the perfect fall comfort food. It's warm and comforting, and the pumpkin flavor is just right. I like to add a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to give it a little extra flavor.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can use canned pumpkin, which makes it even easier.
