Pumpkin soup is a creamy, comforting dish made by simmering butternut squash with shallots and garlic until tender, then blending the mixture with milk and crème fraîche. The result is a smooth, velvety soup with a naturally sweet flavor from the squash. This warming soup is perfect for cooler months and can be garnished with herbs or spices.

The creamy and sweet Pumpkin Soup, made with butternut squash, shallots, garlic, milk, and creme fraiche, pairs well with a sparkling Moscatel de Alejandría. The wine's light body and subtle sweetness complement the soup's velvety texture, while its effervescence cuts through the richness. Alternatively, a light-bodied Barbera with its bright acidity and fruity notes can balance the soup's sweetness and enhance its savory flavors.
