For a richer flavor, roast the pumpkin cubes before adding them to the soup.
You can use any type of squash in place of pumpkin, such as butternut squash or acorn squash.
Add a touch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable broth.
If it’s too thin, add more pumpkin or Parmesan cheese.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
