This soup was seriously incredible! Thank you for the awesome recipe!
You’re welcome Amber!
Do you think there’s a way to modify this using pumpkin puree instead of whole pumpkin? I don’t have an immersion blender and I am wondering if there’s a way to get that amazing consistency without the need of a blender.
Hi Christine,
I am pretty sure you can use canned pumpkin puree and instead of an immersion blender, you may use magic bullet or a blender. Let the soup cool slightly before processing in batches. Hope this helps:)
I use my stick bar mix straight in the slow cooker bowl and it works out great
You had me at Thai Pumpkin! This looks delish!!
