This rich orange soup of deliciousness, is a great appetizer or main course served with a thick wedge of homemade bread. It’s hearty and looks amazing. I make it from a real carved pumpkin,using the seeds and the pulp. It provides the chance to decorate if you wish and eat well at the same time. Enjoy this one.
