    There's nothing my spouse loves more is having some Cream of Pumpkin Soup in the fall. Super easy to make and ready in about 40 minutes. All you need is a good-sized saucepan and food processor or blender to puree the onions.

    My wife recently had surgery that required her to be on a liquid diet for a couple of weeks. The surgeon said she could only eat things that you could eat through a straw. Quite the challenge but I was up to the task.

    Since my wife loves pumpkin flavored food, I decided to make a batch of this cream of pumpkin soup. Since the consistency of this soup is not thick at all, it's a perfect soup recipe for her to enjoy while she is recovering.

    Please note that this is a recipe for Cream of Pumpkin Soup, not Creamy Pumpkin Soup. A cream soup typically means that cream is added to the soup broth after the vegetables are pureed. If you are looking for a thicker soup, you could add a cornstarch slurry during the final step.
