This is the best pumpkin soup recipe I have ever found! I was able to whip it up really quickly on a recent cold morning and thoroughly enjoyed it.
There is a bit of cutting involved so if you have a man around the house haul them into the kitchen and get them chopping! If I could single out one ingredient I would have to say it is the thyme that really makes this soup.
My whole family asked me to make it again so I was very happy with myself and will no doubt be making this wonderful pumpkin soup again.
