Tonight I made a really easy soup and just grabbed whatever I could find in the fridge. I don’t know what it is about pumpkin soup but it always makes me feel great and its a crowd pleaser. Butternut pumpkin is my favourite out of all the starches vegetables and its really versatile. Also taste great cut thin and roasted till crispy or as a pasta filling. Make sure you save the seeds as well, you can roast for a healthy snack. Unfortunately I burned my in the toast oven earlier, so next time.
