So I’ve been wanting to make a pumpkin soup recipe for a while. You know, it’s the cold season and all, and it just seemed fitting. However, my husband Silas and I have been living in Mexico for a couple of months, and as you can imagine… pumpkin puree isn’t easy to come by. But that doesn’t mean that I gave up on my search (in fact, I’m hoarding 4 cans of it right now).

Through broken Spanish and the weird looks I got from saying the word “pumpkin”, I finally found it in a specialty aisle. Success.

Now I know that Fall will be soon finished, but I don’t think it’s ever too late for pumpkin recipes. Especially pumpkin soup. There’s something so right about having a hot bowl of soup on a cold Autumn or Winter day. It warms you right up and makes you feel cozy.

Oh, and did I mention how this was simple? Yep, it probably takes a good 20 minutes to make, which means no slaving away in the kitchen just to make something that tastes good. So if you want an easy dinner or a quick side to your holiday meals, then this… is it.

Savory, creamy, steamy, and absolutely delicious. There’s no reason why you can’t make it this cold season.

So if you’re still in the pumpkin, Autumn, leaves falling, hot cups of coffee and tea mood, then get in the kitchen and whip up a hot bowl of pumpkin goodness.

Oh! Also, don’t forget to buy a fresh loaf of bread at the store (or nearby bakery). It’s such a great addition to this Fall dish. Dipping in the soft bread and allowing it to soak up the pumpkin soup just tastes so good.

Now if you have any questions (or additions) for this pumpkin soup recipe, just let me know! I’d love to answer them and hear about your ideas!

  1. Am making above recipe and so far smells wonderful! HOWEVER, when do I ADD the pumpkin puree? Am I missing something in the recipe?

  2. You forgot to put when to add the pumpkin. Im guessing with the milk. And do you blend it? I will…to keep the smooth consistency. Also added potatos and a carrot to make it more substantial…
