ElfyThis is also a great way to use up the pumpkin flesh from your Halloween Jack-O-Lantern! It is an excellent appetiser for your Halloween feast because it is ready in about 20 minutes.
Here the pumpkin season lasts from October to December. When selecting a pumpkin for eating, make sure the skin is hard, and the base is the same color as the rest of it. Must be hard to touch, and there is no leaking.

Because pumpkin season is limited, you can substitute an equal amount of the more readily available butternut squash if you can’t find any pumpkin.
If you like a little bit of hot spice, sprinkle some chilli flakes on top of your soup. If you’re preparing for a dinner party or visitors, drizzle with olive oil or your favorite flavored oil (such as rosemary or garlic).
You may prepare a larger batch of soup and freeze it for up to 3 months. Allow the soup to defrost in the refrigerator and you’ll have a great meal ready in a matter of minutes. Serve the hot pumpkin soup with croutons and, if desired, goat cheese. After a dreary fall day, this delicacy will undoubtedly warm you up.
