I have been on this cooking kick lately. I absolutely love trying new recipes and last week I had some pumpkin soup that a friend of mine made. I used his recipe last night and made my own, very close to his, version of the soup. It was delicious!Perfect recipe for when you are on a blended or full liquid diet.
