The perfect fall soup: Sweet and creamy Hokkaido Pumpkin Soup.
It’s pumpkin season and great time to turn them into a hearty, warm soup. Pumpkin soup is creamy, straightforward and comforting. I recommend roasting pumpkins prior to cooking them into a soup, it intensifies their flavor and makes the final result slightly smokey, which is great in soups like this. I used hokkaido, but butternut is also great for this dish.
