PUMPKIN SOUP WITH SPICY PEPITAS
Pumpkin (and butternut squash) is an interesting ingredient because it plays well with other flavors on both the sweet and savory spectrums. Pumpkin pie with a chocolate ribbon? Yes, please. Pumpkin and smoky-spicy flavors? All day long. For this soup, we combine roasted pumpkin with our sublimely smoky and subtly spicy Chipotle Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We add in our Belle Ville Blend for a bowlful of comfort that will have you coming back for seconds.Read our Pumpkin Spice Roundup Blog for more pumpkin inspiration!
