Notes

For an extra depth of flavor, you can roast the pumpkin pieces in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes before adding them to the soup. This will enhance the sweetness and richness of the pumpkin. Also, adjusting the seasoning to taste is crucial; feel free to add more spices or herbs according to your preference.
