Roasting always gives it such amazing flavour. If you have time, roasting a while bulb of garlic to zip through is incredible. And of course bacon makes everything taste better hehe

I have always made my pumpkin soup with roast pumpkin and roast carrots.

I love pumpkin soup and I always add cream, and blend mine.

I use bacon, leek, butternut pumpkin, stock and cream. Bacon adds that extra richness.

i’ve never been a huge fan of pumpkin soup, although i love roast pumpkin. i think i might roast up some pumpkin like others have suggested to intensify the flavour.

I roast my pumpkins a whole onion and a whole bulb of garlic. Once roasted I take skins off garlic n onion and blitz all together then in a pot I fry off some Thai curry paste and add coconut milk and pumpkin mix along with a little stock.

Coconut cream is a must have ingredient!

Pumpkin, potato, stock, onion… not too exciting

My hubby makes all our soup because he enjoys cooking. Even though he doesn’t like pumpkin soup himself he still makes it for me and it is totally awesome. I know he uses butternut pumpkin and adds potato, carrot and celery and a selection of spices. It is thick and hearty.

Potato and sweet potato with some thickened cream to make it creamier!

I like to add tomato. These suggestions are wonderful.

Bacon!

Shock, horror. I’ve never made pumpkin soup and I probably won’t now since I’d be the only one to eat it. My son doesn’t like soup and it’s only my son and I now.

Loved adding fresh oysters just before digging in, around a backyard fire with friends and occasionally creamed corn, which my sister’ used to do.
I generally add bacon bones, onion, potato, sweet potato, parsnip & turnip along with garlic, ginger and cinnamon. A dob of sour cream topped with fresh chives when dishing up adds a nice touch.

I always add some coriander and a can of coconut cream to my pumpkin soup.

  Yum that sounds delicious

I might add some onion or abit of spice for some zest.

I tend to add cooked onion and a little garlic, and then cream at the end. Sometimes I add sweet potato too. Depends on what I’m feeling and what’s in the fridge/pantry.

Lots of ways to make it by the sounds of it

We have tried most of these. Bacon is delicious. Have also had nutmeg and a swirl of cream on top

The bacon would be a delicious addition the soup! Thanks!
