Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup
Flavors Used:
Creamy, herby pumpkin soup is easy to make and perfect for fall weather! I'd never tried eating pumpkin before so this was a whole new experience. I tried someone's pumpkin soup recipe that involved leeks and carrots and I was not impressed. I decided t make up my own and try and get more of a roasted vegetable flavor and creamy texture. Nailed it! Dan-O's seasoning made it easy to add some yummy flavor without having to worry about choosing the right spices. The roasted pumpkin with Dan-O's on it was good by itself too!
