Notes
- Make It Smoother: While the recipe is delicious and creamy as is, you can still make it creamier. Either use a regular blender to blend the pumpkin soup in small batches or an immersion blender to blend the soup right in the large pot, just until it reaches your preferred thickness.
- Use The Right Type: Make sure you’re using pure, unsweetened pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling when making this recipe.
- Thin It Out: If the soup turns out too thick for your liking, add water or more broth, milk, or cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
