Pumpkin soup is a popular Thanksgiving dish in the United States and is usually made from the puree of pumpkin. It is a simple dish to prepare even though its made completely from scratch and can be served both hot and cold. Soup is often served as the starter, first course, or entrée before a main meal. Bon Appétit !!
