Pumpkin soup feels like slowing down. It simmers gently, fills the kitchen with warmth, and turns a humble vegetable into something smooth and reassuring. There’s a quiet sweetness to pumpkin that doesn’t need much help just time, heat, and a few simple companions.
In the Let’s Veg lifestyle, pumpkin soup represents comfort without excess. Vegetables don’t have to be raw or complicated to be nourishing. When cooked simply, pumpkin offers fiber, color, and calm a bowl that feels good to return to again and again.
