Although it is a bit off pumpkin season, I still like a good, creamy pumpkin soup when it summer.
Soup for dinner is great, especially on days where we have a lot of after school activities and dinner needs to be quick and easy ; o)
I must admit that I don’t always buy a whole pumpkin to deal around with. Cutting out a whole pumpkin simply isn’t my thing. I just love that I can buy my pumpkin that’s already been peeled, seeded and cut out for me.
After all, the idea about serving soup on a busy school day, is that it is supposed to be easy.
Theres so many ways to make soup, but one thing is for sure. A blended soup like this, is a great way to hide the veggies. And I love to know that my kids gets their veggies every day. We do that with tomato soups, potato soups, broccoli soups etc.
For this particular soup I like to serve some roasted pumpkin seeds and bake the very easy soft baguettes. That’s a dinner of homemade happiness, and I’m sure your family will like it too!
