The Easy Peasy Pumpkin Soup was so incredibly delicious. It was thick and flavorful and belongs as an offering on the menu of any 5 star restaurant. I savored every drop!
Just make sure the cover of your blender when pureeing the ingredients is on securely. Mine was not, and some of the soup decorated my walls, as well!
