Roasted pumpkin soup
A creamy and hearty pumpkin soup is the essence of cozy comfort food. Roasting the pumpkin in the oven enhances its natural sweetness and gives the soup a deep, well-rounded flavor. Served with toasted seeds and a dollop of crème fraîche, you get warmth, creaminess, and crunch all in one bowl.
