Carrot Pumpkin Soup with Ham & Cheese Sandwiches
I love the pumpkin in this recipe.
Because it gives the soup the necessary creaminess without you having to add any butter or cream to it. Pumpkin is a really lovely vegetable. I use it very often in my kitchen since I can find it here all year around.
