This creamy Pumpkin Soup is packed with sweet pumpkin flavor! Made with fresh pumpkin (we love Kabocha), onions, garlic, vegetable broth, and a splash of cream, it's perfect for chilly autumn afternoons.

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened.
