I know this isn’t even anywhere close to the pumpkin soup season, but we had some pumpkins left over from Halloween time so I finally decided to put them to good use. Here’s what came of it – roasted pumpkin and garlic soup with corn, YUMMMM!!
After I dealt with scooping out and seeding the pumpkin, I rummaged through some cupboards and found some corn (which is always a hit with the kids in any shape or form) and decided to add it to the soup for some added flavour.
The recipe is super simple and straight forward and took me no time or effort to whip together.
P.S. keep the pumpkin seeds and roast them for garnish or on there own, sooooo good!!
