Healthy Soup Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Almonds

Are you looking for an easy healthy soup recipe to warm you up during those cold winter days? How about making this delicious  roasted almond pumpkin soup. With Halloween over, I had lots of pumpkins laying around. Instead of throwing them out, I thought I would make a big batch of pumpkin soup. I used to make this roasted pumpkin soup but I wanted to add a spin on this soup recipe.  I roasted almonds and added them to the soup. It turned out so good. If you don’t have a fresh pumpkin, you can use canned ones.
