Notes

  • You can adjust the consistency of the soup to your liking by turning the crockpot on without a lid to make it thicker or adding more cream to thin out the soup. Keep in mind that soup tends to thicken as it cools.
  • Pumpkin soup freezes extremely well. To freeze, pour into an airtight container, and store in a freezer for up to 2 - 3 months.
