A simple roast pumpkin soup made with pumpkin, onion, garlic and chicken stock. Roasting the pumpkin gives it a deeper, slightly sweeter flavour, making the soup extra comforting.
FEATURED REVIEW
Yum, yum, and yum! Thanks Vicki.
I was a bit worried due to lack of cream/milk but I think it's the most delicious pumpkin soup I've eaten!

This recipe is ideal for cosy days indoors when the weather is too cold and rainy to venture outside. There are quicker recipes for pumpkin soup that don't require roasting the pumpkin first; this version, however, tastes way better.
