When I see pie pumpkins coming out in fall, I buy several of them to make my own pumpkin puree, which is super easy and it is detailed in this post. With the homemade pumpkin puree ready to go, I do some fun and flavorful fall cooking. This sage pumpkin soup is a result of that. You can certainly use canned pumpkin puree in this recipe. I use garlic, onion and pumpkin puree as the base of the soup. Then I got a few sage leaves and 5 thyme sprigs from my herb garden to add that garden freshness in the soup.
