Pumpkin soup with carrot and potato

 

I have been celebrating the season of Halloween creating various food items in my little kitchen with pumpkin as the ingredient in focus.

The hokkaido pumpkin, which I brought was quiet large, so therefore I decided to make both pumpkin bun, pumpkin cake and off cause this pumpkin soup with inspiration from Valdemarsro with various modifications.
