Avoid the canned or frozen pumpkin puree mistake by cooking it over the stove for a few minutes before adding the simmering liquid.
Cooking canned puree over the stove will rid it of its metallic taste and extra water, thereby concentrating the pumpkin's sweet and savory notes.
You can add the puree to the soup pot after sauteing the foundational aromatics to instill even more depth of flavor before then adding the spices and cooking liquid.
