Pumpkin Puree Perfection

It’s no secret that our family loves soups, especially in the fall and winter! We especially love creamy veggie soups like Butternut Squash Soup, Carrot Soup, and this pumpkin soup.

This easy soup recipe is made simple by using canned pumpkin puree. It preps in only 10 minutes, then simmers allowing the flavors to develop! It’s creamy and comforting and would be especially delicious served in a Bread Bowl Recipe or with a side of the famous Parker House Rolls.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

  • Silky. An immersion blender creates that velvety smooth texture that is simply irresistible.
  • A quick prep. 10 minutes to prep your ingredients, then simply simmer and blend!
  • Shortcut. Using canned pumpkin puree offers a quick and convenient option.
