To the roasted pumpkin puree, I added onion, garlic, broth, and lots of spice and finished it all off with a little maple syrup for sweetness. I usually reserve pumpkin for sweeter dishes, but this soup has changed my mind! I roasted a pumpkin to make homemade pumpkin puree and, while I do think homemade puree adds a special freshness to this soup, you could certainly use 3 cups of canned puree instead. I’ve made squash soup, potato soup, and other creamy, blended vegetable soups, but never pumpkin.
So, of course, I had to make a pot of Pumpkin Soup of my own! I love to have a big pot of soup bubbling on the stove during the colder months of the year, so I was surprised to realize that I had never made pumpkin soup. Cooking pumpkin soup in the book Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper – A big pot of pumpkin soup simmering on the stove while the friends work together to season, stir, and chop is a beautiful picture of friendship and teamwork. They will make you want to move into a little pumpkin of your own with two best friends! However, the pictures of the friends cooking together are my favorite part of the book.
The illustrations in this book exude autumnal coziness and warmth.
Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper “Pumpkin Soup” by Helen Cooper and a bowl of Roasted Pumpkin Soup – Three friends living in a pumpkin. They play music together, stitch quilts together, and make pumpkin soup together, “the best you ever tasted.” But when one of the friends decides to shake things up by trying out another’s job, can their friendship survive? They each have their allotted jobs and do them well. In the story, three friends, a cat, a duck, and a squirrel, live harmoniously together in a large pumpkin. The fact that the illustrations and words work so well together in this book is especially fitting given that Pumpkin Soup is all about teamwork. Cooper melds the text with the illustrations in a way that gives the book a vibrant sense of life and warmth. This is certainly true of the book Pumpkin Soup written and illustrated by Helen Cooper. The pictures and words often have a special harmony when they come from the same creative mind. I often find that there is something special about a children’s book written and illustrated by the same person.
