Check out the printable recipe here: http://vegetarianbaker.com/Roasted-Pumpkin-Soup

Pumpkin and fall just go perfect together, especially with a simple soup recipe. This Roasted Pumpkin Soup is sure to warm you up during these colder months. Don't be afraid of a whole pumpkin, because is it very simple to work with. However, make sure you get a sugar or pie pumpkin. You can't use your Jack-O-Lantern from Halloween to make this soup, it just wouldn't taste correct.

One of the best parts about this recipe is that it freezes amazingly. So don't be afraid to buy some extra pumpkin and throw it in the freezer for later.
