That looks and sounds so good. Fall soups are the best!

Does anyone have any tips for cutting pumpkin and other squashes in half? I have always struggled to even pierce them with a good chef knife, but it's extra difficult now that I've lost some function in my arms/hands.

    oh, I love this. I will try it out. I make a coconut cream based ghost pepper squash soup that my friends beg me for every year. I might do a twist on it this year. I like this.

    I've been wanting to try a pumpkin soup for a while. Awesome presentation skills, by the way. Did you pair it with anything like some fresh bread? Maybe a salad?

    Thank you! I mean, it's a "liquid salad", didn't think to add any sides :)

    I just toasted some bread, which the kids broke into little pieces and used as croutons.

    I personally don't eat pumpkin, so I wouldn't know if it needed anything else :D

    If I were to make a side dish, I think something like roasted veggies, or a simple green salad. Or maybe something with apples and pine nuts and cheese... hmm...

    some drops of pumpkin seed oil

    I like the idea that some dish out there might be made of almost entirely one ingredient. Like... pureed pumpkin soup, topped with pumpkin seeds, pumpkin oil, toasted pumpkin rind shavings, and garnished with pumpkin vine greens and pumpkin root flakes. Salt and pepper to taste.
