Notes

The soup when made is Vegan. If you swirl in some cream, butter or milk, it turns to a Vegetarian soup.
Make sure you use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling is using a can. The latter tends to be super sweet and not appropriate for the soup.
While the soup is perfect when made using an immersion blender, it can be blended using a mixer too. Just cool the soup slightly before whipping it up.
Buy peeled and cubed pumpkin to cut down the prep time. However, the soup can be made with canned pumpkin too. Just add 2 cans of pumpkin purée instead of pumpkins and continue with the same recipe.
Moreover, to switch up the squash; use butternut squash, kombucha squash or a mix of squashes.
