I used fresh pumpkin puree, as I cannot get tinned pumpkin in France! A VERY easy and VERY creamy soup that I really enjoyed. Next time, I will omit the cinnamon.......for personal taste and use roasted pumpkin puree for extra flavour. I thoroughly enjoyed this soup with home-made bread and sprinkled pumpkin seeds on top for a bit of crunch! Made for Easy Does It in the Photos Forum, many thanks LMillerRN! FT:-)
