This basic pumpkin soup is delicious as is, but you can use this recipe as a base and customize it to your tastes. For example, try adding a little curry powder to spice it up a bit, or add a little minced ginger to make it into a pumpkin-ginger soup. You could make it sweeter by adding a little applesauce for an apple-pumpkin soup.
