This creamy parmesan pumpkin soup is perfect for the whole family, even if you have some who aren’t pumpkin lovers such as myself. It has a more mild pumpkin flavor than a lot of other pumpkin soups so it is not overwhelming.
Creamy, rich, and filling this soup is the perfect accompaniment to any cool fall evening. Served with crusty bread or crackers it makes for a delicious meal any night of the week or even to serve on Thanksgiving. I love making soup as an addition to our Thanksgiving meals in cute little festive bowls. Its a quick and easy crowd pleaser.
I like to add a sprinkle of nutmeg to the top before serving, (it just adds a little something to the flavor).Give it a try and let me know what you think!
