Notes

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the pumpkin before adding it to the soup. This will enhance the sweetness and depth of flavor. Adjust the consistency of the soup by adding more vegetable broth if you prefer a thinner soup. Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.
