The soup season is here, it’s everywhere! I have always been a soup lover, in India winters weren’t as bad as they are here. During those cold winter evenings , I always wanted a bowl of hot soup and nothing else. I didn’t use to drink any coffee or chai then so soup was the only hot thing I could drink.

My favorite soup used to be tomato soup and sweet corn soup and at my home it was never made from scratch. I believe that was a common thing in every household back then, we just used to have Maggi and Knorr soup packets. They were nice and easy to make and that’s what we used to make our homemade soups! I would always look for new soups flavors and get really excited to try the new ones. 

Now I make a lot of soups and yes everything from scratch. I love trying out new flavors. 

One soup which I wanted to make this fall was Pumpkin Soup. I just had to because there are pumpkins everywhere and I know they are amazing in soups.

Pumpkin soup

soups are generally served as appetizer and most commonly it is served with garlic bread or plain roasted bread, this combination is my favorite . 

Note : We can use any type of pumpkin or butternut squash to make soup. Canned pumpkin puree also works well, if you’re in a time crunch.

I have topped with cream, for vegan, use coconut milk.

I have made different types of soups in my blog, Soups recipes, Taco soup, Little millet soup, Butternut squash.
