One of my favorite things about fall is the soups, And this easy fall pumpkin soup will have you all warmed up after a cold fall or winter day.  

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year! And that means pumpkin picking time! 

This pumpkin soup is so easy to make and very delicious. A good go to meal in my house or for church potlucks.  With a few simple ingredients and a little more than an hour you can make this mouth warming soup!  It can also be frozen or canned and easily reheated on cold fall or winter days. 

I love this soup  

Pumpkins I use

You can use any pumpkin or squash you want but my favorites are butternut and GALEUX D’ EYSINES but you can always use what you have or try your favorite.  

Butternut squash is a type of winter squash that grows on a vine. It has a sweet, nutty taste similar to that of a pumpkin. It has tan-yellow skin and orange fleshy pulp with a compartment of seeds in the blossom end. When ripe, it turns increasingly deep orange, and becomes sweeter and richer. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium; and it is a source of vitamin A.

I like Butternut squash because it is easy to find and grow. It has a sweet nutty flavor and beautiful color that is great in soups and stews.  

Galeux D’ Eysines is a beautiful heirloom squash. It has deep, flavorful orange flesh that is great for baking and cooking with.  It’s also popular among the French for making soup.
