Always roast the veggies first for a huge flavour burst. Pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, onion even the garlic……bung it all in the oven first

I can’t add spices and other things like onion because I have severe reflux but the addition of other ingredients sound very interesting.

Always roast the pumpkin before making the soap.

I love adding a couple tablespoons of peanut butter, I know it sounds a bit strange but it adds an extra subtle flavour element and a nice bit of protein and healthy fat

Our family sprinkles desiccated coconut on top of pumpkin soup and it is DELICIOUS!!

Some good suggestions there. Love a good ol pumpkin soup!

Some nice additions there, thank you.

Wow~ didn’t know you can add that many kind of different things in the soup. I normally just add some spices and herbs and garlic onion.

I have been making mine with onion, garlic, carrots and Turkey stock (which I make), when it’s cooked it’s blended until thick and smooth, then when serving I add either a bit of cream or sour cream (whichever you prefer) and pinch of smoked or sweet paprika

My secret is Heinz!

I tend to mix it up whatever is around the house but a great version that my family (including my soup hating 4 year old) and friends love to eat is a thai version – coconut milk, lemongrass, a little fresh chilli and a squeeze of lime juice add to the thai infusion,

I tend to add onion and garlic… and sometimes potato or sweet potato. I do love some of these suggestions too and will be considering in the coming weeks as I warm the slow cooker up!!

I add bacon and cumin to mine as well as sweet potato. It certainly adds to the flavour and the sweet potato makes it creamy if your pumpkin is a little watery.

I do most of the time onion, garlic, carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, black pepper & nutmeg. But I always play around and it depends what I have at home

I adore curry in pumpkin soup as it provides a little zing which is perfect for warming up bodies on cooler days.

I add a bit of bacon or ham, fry it off then once it’s pureed, strain it and it tastes amazing.

I wouldn’t say everyone likes it, but I love Pumpkin and Apple soup

Hmm I’d love to make a great version. One day ..

Definitely roast the pumpkin – along with a granny smith apple.

Potato and garlic yummm perfect for this weather…oh and some sources cream on top.
