Crock Pot Pumpkin Soup Recipe

I know you are thinking that it is May and I have lost my mind sharing this Crock Pot Pumpkin Soup Recipe. That it is no longer pumpkin spice latte season and pumpkin is out. Trust me I get it!

I made this Crock Pot Pumpkin Soup Recipe for John’s grandmother since she loves anything pumpkin. I figured since I had it made and ready I might as well photograph it and share it. Because maybe there are other people out there that love pumpkin soup in the Spring.

If you only love pumpkin soup in the Fall feel free to pin this recipe now and walk away until the leaves are changing and the summer sun has faded. My feelings won’t be hurt. I truly understand that some things have seasons and pumpkin soup may be one of those things.

If you are someone who loves pumpkin any day of the year than this recipe is perfect for you today! It is super easy to make and tastes amazing!
