FAQs

What can I add to pumpkin soup to make it thicker? 

There are a few ingredients you can add to make your pumpkin soup thicker. If you want to stick to a creamy texture, then go for cornstarch or flour to thicken the soup. You can also add a splash of cream to make the soup richer and creamier. 

How long does homemade pumpkin soup last for? 

Generally, your pumpkin soup will last for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, however this depends on how you store it. Make sure you allow it to cool down and then pop it in an airtight container for maximum freshness.

Pumpkin soup goes well with a range of sides – from soft or crusty breads to herb toppings, there’s no shortage of flavours and textures to try. In our opinion, nothing quite beats a slice of crusty bread like our Cheesy Sourdough. You could also try garlic bread or a plain crusty loaf of bread.
