Author Notes
This pumpkin soup is on hold for a while now. It needed something more, because I thought it was a bit a Plain Jane. Lately I’m all over the taste of truffles. I found this truffle olive oil and it’s the best! Truffle and pumkin are such a genius combination. I have used sunflower seeds instead of pumpkin seeds, because sunflower seeds contain less saturated fats, yay. This soup is easy to make and it takes about 40 minutes including 20 minutes in the oven. With some nice bread you’re good to go! —Gwen van Bakel
