Description
Pumpkin soup is a staple in most households during the cooler months. This recipe was inspired by a friend and is a tweak on a traditional recipe of mine to give it a little extra flavour. The key is using a combination of different types of pumpkin and roasting to really bring out the flavours of both the pumpkin and garlic. – Peta
Recipe Tester Feedback: “A lovely depth of flavour from roasting the veg, and the garlic was a fantastic addition!” – Kylie
