  2. This was the best pumpkin soup!

    I made this tonight and hubby and I had seconds! So delicious! I added lactose free sour cream to garnish.

    Made this today, I added some diced sweet potato and it tastes amazing!

  5. Made this last night…I actually cut the pumpkin in quarters, deserved and roasted in the oven for 40 mins, allowed to cool slightly then scooped the flesh into the slow cooker, didn’t peel the spuds or carrots and just cut quickly in large chunks…this was delicious

  6. Absolutely loved this soup. The only thing I added was 1tspn of curry powder ?

    Made this the other day. Could only get Kent Pumpkin but still amazing. I gobbled up a bowl as soon as it was ready.
    Will try butternut pumpkin next time. A really nice healthy soup. ?
