Pumpkin is a very thankful vegetable. I love the autumn period when you can find all kinds of varieties in the shops. I like the most ordinary classic in the form of soups baked with vegetables or closing its flavors in jars for the winter. I know there are preparations ready to buy, but I prefer the ones I make. I can choose the ingredients according to my taste and most of all I know what I eat.
How to choose the best ingredients for Pumpkin soup spicy flavor explosion
Pumpkin: take the pumpkins as ordinary as you have. You can use these pumpkins in several ways, and you surely know that it is fresh. I don’t prefer canned pumpkin, although you can use it as you like or don’t have time to peel and cook. Then there will be a faster version of the pumpkin soup spicy flavor explosion.
Potatoes: use the potatoes you like. They will be blended to be suitable for baking and salad dishes that contain less starch.
Parsley: only fresh parsley and preferably not curled. It gives the soup flavor and character. It has a slightly spicy flavor that is very desirable in combination with thyme and sweet pumpkin.
Butter: butter, of course, is unsalted. You can change it to a vegetarian alternative, but only for this coconut oil is suitable, which works well as a substitute for butter.
Sour Cream: Sour cream may or may not be. By adding butter, the soup is very creamy and without cream.

Tips and tricks
