Fall Pumpkin Soup

This soup is the perfect fall lunch or dinner. We love using fresh ingredients like pumpkin when cooking at home, and we also love using our XD cookware! In this recipe we used our XD Double Burner, our Jet Mix Blender and our XD Saucepan. By using these products, all we had to focus on was enjoying the cooking experience because who really likes to clean up sticky messes?
