Savor Our Pumpkin Soup

Get into the spirit of fall with this nutritious soup. Indigenous to the Western Hemisphere, the versatile pumpkin is rich in vitamins, and Europeans have enjoyed squash-based cuisine ever since the first pumpkin seeds made their way across the Atlantic. This simple, non-cream based recipe yields a hearty soup. Candied walnuts, thyme and parmesan add texture and complement the flavors exquisitely. Enjoy this perfect fall starter or winter main course, with our compliments.
