I've been wanting to try a pumpkin soup for a while. Awesome presentation skills, by the way. Did you pair it with anything like some fresh bread? Maybe a salad?

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you! I mean, it's a "liquid salad", didn't think to add any sides :)

I just toasted some bread, which the kids broke into little pieces and used as croutons.

I personally don't eat pumpkin, so I wouldn't know if it needed anything else :D

If I were to make a side dish, I think something like roasted veggies, or a simple green salad. Or maybe something with apples and pine nuts and cheese... hmm...

Just curious, I bet it was really filling on its own without the need of anything else. Once again, awesome presentation. Makes me crave some, and I've never had it before haha 👌
