Recipe: Pumpkin soup

Winter is comming .. (totally Game of Thrones) ..

The weather is getting colder, and that means – Soup! Delicious hot soup ♥

I love soup. It tastes amazing, and you can make lots of different variations.
If you put all your love in the food you are making, then soups are filled with sparkling taste 🙂

This hokkaido soup is delicious, and Alexander – my stepson loved it.
The topping makes the soup extra great – both for the taste and the consistency. It is nice to have something to chew on too 🙂
