If you haven’t had pumpkin soup, you are missing a delightful dining experience. This savory soup is ideal for one of those first crisp days of autumn.

If you want to use shrimp (prawns) in the soup, slice the desired quantity in half and place in boiling soup for approximately two minutes.

Drop a dollop of sour cream into soup for a creamier texture and flavor and top with garlic croutons. For a tasty and crispy crouton, cut Turkish bread into thin slices and brush with oil and garlic and place in the oven for about 15 minutes or until crispy and golden.
