Notes
One of our favourite ways to use leftovers of this canned pumpkin soup is to use it as a pasta sauce.
We recommend using an immersion blender for this as putting hot soup in a jug blend can cause it to crack.
Finish the soup off with some roasted pumpkin seeds.
Fresh sage also goes really well with pumpkin.
When you add the milk, make sure the heat is turned off.
For a sweeter pumpkin soup, you can add a little bit of maple syrup.
