It started as a simple pumpkin soup, but once the spinach goes in, the color does all the convincing for me. So calling all mothers. If you\u2019re dealing with the same struggle, feel free to borrow the name. I feel your pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <strong>Pumpkin Spinach Soup<\/strong> is comforting, creamy, and surprisingly kid friendly, making it an easy pumpkin spinach soup you\u2019ll come back to again and again.

I always check by pressing a piece of pumpkin against the side of the pot with a spoon. If it falls apart easily, you\u2019re good to go and your Pumpkin Spinach Soup will blend up smooth and creamy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the spinach right at the end and don\u2019t walk away. I just push the leaves down into the hot soup until they wilt, then move on. Overcooked spinach can dull the color and flavor, which you definitely don\u2019t want in an easy pumpkin spinach soup like this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re making a pumpkin spinach soup with bacon, take the extra minute to get the bacon properly crisp. I\u2019ve tried blending in soft bacon before and it disappears. Crispy bacon actually brings flavor to the soup and gives you something worth sprinkling on top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-recipe-faq-s\">Recipe FAQ&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1733457286629\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why Did My Pumpkin Soup Turn Grainy After Blending?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This usually happens when the vegetables aren\u2019t cooked long enough or the soup is under-blended.
