Can I use a different milk?

Absolutely! I recommend this pumpkin soup with coconut milk because it gives you a creamy silky-smooth consistency. A similar texture can be achieved by using almond milk or oat milk. Use what you have!

How do I make gluten free pumpkin soup?

Simply replace the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.

What are pepitas?

Pepitas are pumpkin seeds that come from certain types of pumpkins. They don't require shelling and are delicious topped on soup, salad, and baked goods.
