There is nothing better than a warm and hearty soup on those cold winter days. Moreover, with halloween coming up, the bright orange colour will put you in the right mood immediately. This pumpkin carrot soup is so tasty and special that I can guarantee you will want to make it frequently!

Additionally, chilli flakes add a little bit of spice to it. Here I used a butternut squash because I really like the taste of it, but feel free to use any other pumpkin. On the plus side, you can use every bit of the butternut squash and make it into food—check out the tips below!

    I am guessing the butternut squash in the ingredients list is supposed to be pumpkin?!

      Yes but feel free to use regular pumpkin instead. I just prefer the taste of butternut squash. I am from Austria and we would make a pumpkin soup with Butternut squash.

    For me pumpkin and squash are not the same, but will make with pumpkin from my freezer. Sounds great! Thanks
