Lovely Pumpkin Soup has always been a traditional Halloween recipe. Using pumpkins for Halloween decoration means scooping the inners out and often throwing them away. With this soup, there is no waste and you have a filling and warming result. It benefits from being able to make in advance an warmed when needed. While I use chicken stock for this recipe, vegetable stock can be used to become a vegetarian dish. Making your own homemade stock is easy and can be found by clicking here.
