Hi Everyone, this Carrot Pumpkin Soup is savory, warm, soothing and perfect for Fall!
I have made several iterations of carrot soup over the years, including this Carrot Ginger Soup, and I just want to say that whatever iteration it is, it is ALWAYS a winner at the dinner table.
I was inspired to make this when I was developing several Fall-themed recipes over the past few months and my husband and I were just craving some carrot soup – well I had some extra pumpkin puree and the rest is history 🙂
