Do you too love all things pumpkin? Some people claim, the get over pumpkins after a while; I however could probably eat some variation of pumpkin every other day all year round. Pumpkin soup is one of my favorites, a wonderful comfort food whenever I feel like snuggling up and leaving the world behind or during the colder months. The rich creaminess, and the combination of flavors are super satisfying!
