This pumpkin and pear soup is definitely among my favorites, and to be quite honest, I never thought the pear would add such a special touch to this simple mix. Without a doubt the pumpkin is one of my favorite vegetables when it comes to making soups or creams.
The wonderful thing about soups is that they are easy to prepare, they can also be served as a starter-plate or as a main-course-plate, accompanied with some salad in case you may want to eat in a lighter fashion. You also have the option of making your soups and then freezing them, so that you can have them handy whenever you want. As you can see, there are many options and flavors that can be achieved with this type of recipes, because the pumpkin is quite versatile as an ingredient. I hope you will be tempted to prepare this delicacy, which I promise you will not be disappointed.
