If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while now, you'll have noticed that I like to make and eat soups. Today I want to share with you a Pumpkin Soup (Crema de Ahuyama o Calabaza) that is popular in Colombia and I made last week.
The smell of pumpkin simmering with carrots, cinnamon, honey, garlic and onions gave a wonderful fall feeling to the entire house. This creamy, colorful soup is very easy to make and even better the next day. It would make a delicious first course for dinner on a chilly fall evening.
