I found this soup to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to make it more flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It was creamy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced and it was perfectly creamy. Topped with a dollop of Mexican cream and a sprinkle of toasted pepitas, it had the perfect amount of flavor and texture.
