Roasted pumpkin and parmesan soup
Autumn soup
I’m completely in the pumpkin flow don’t you think? This is another golden oldie but it’s sooo good! And if you’re looking for a festive way to present your pumpkin soup than it’s a really good idea to serve it in smaller sized pumpkins or one larger one. It’s a little cheesy so if you’re not into that I wouldn’t recommend making this but if you are a cheese lover (and yes I am!) than make this. You won’t be sorry. Keep in mind that it takes at least two hours before everything is completely cooked so make sure you take enough time to make this.
And the larger your pumpkin the longer it will take in the oven.
I didn’t even have a really largen pumpkin but it still took me quite a bit of time before it was cooked.
