WHOLE PUMPKIN OR CANNED PUMPKIN?
This soup can be made with either a whole pumpkin that you prepare yourself or with canned pumpkin.

Don’t be intimidated by roasting your pumpkin! It’s easy and the flavor is more interesting than canned pumpkin purée.

To roast it, all you have to do is cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds (which you can turn into a tasty snack), and then roast the halves until they’re soft all the way through. Scoop out the flesh from the skins and you’re ready to make soup.

Roasted Pumpkin vs. Canned Pumpkin
And finally, let’s talk about the pumpkin itself!

I wanted to make sure this soup was robust in flavor which is why I opted for roasting an entire pumpkin. If you’ve never roasted pumpkin before, it’s super simple. You just cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, place it on a baking sheet and roast it for about 50 – 60 minutes.

And the beauty of doing that is that you can also just toss your carrots and onion on the pan and roast those right alongside the pumpkin!

If you don’t have access to fresh pumpkin, you can certainly use canned. I would recommend using an entire can (maybe 1.5) and just sauteeing the other veggies. It will still taste good, you just won’t get that underlying roasted flavor you’d get from the fresh option.
