Chef's Note
Recipe adapted from Desiree Nielsen.
If a thinner soup is desired, add 1/2 to 1 cup of additional liquid of choice.
Try rinsing and patting your pumpkin seeds dry, then tossing them with olive oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, and cumin before roasting for 20 minutes to create a tasty garnish for your soup.
