Although this pumpkin soup recipe makes use of calabaza squash(kalabasa), you can use other varieties of pumpkin depending on your preference. I used kalabasa for this recipe because it tastes sweeter compared to ordinary pumpkin. It is also a good source of Vitamin A.
I like this recipe because of its rich creamy flavor. There is nothing fancy going on with this dish. This makes it simple and easy to prepare. It is also a budget-friendly recipe.
