As a kid there were only a few things that I really, really disliked... Pumpkin soup was definitely one of them ;)
It wasn't until I was in my twenties that a really good friend made me a pumpkin coconut soup. I hardly dared tasting it, but when I did I just loved it!
After that moment I started trying to make my own pumpkin soup, just the way I liked it. Creamy but without chunks, with a rich and spicy flavour.

This soup is my all-time favorite; easy and quick once you're done cutting up the pumpkins and everytime I make it I get asked for the recipe ;) It's also vegetarian and vegan friendly (check your vegetable stock though to be absolutely sure) and combines easily with quick bites and a variety of dishes.
