Pumpkin soup.
I followed this recipe (used heavy cream); the results are pretty underwhelming, bland. Any suggestions? https://cookieandkate.com/creamy-vegan-pumpkin-soup/ |

More salt. 
You could also try sage. I like frying up sage leaves in butter and adding the sage and sage butter. |

First off? More salt. Peel and dice some Granny Smith apples and add them to the pumpkin chunks. Smoked paprika.

| The cream might have muted the spice. Punch up the amounts. |

For the win. Needs some acid. |

| If it’s missing something and you can’t place it, it’s salt, it’s missing salt. So add more salt until you get to a place where it’s now tasty. Then decide which direction you want to go—warm and spicy? Add curry. More savory and earthy? Add sage. Sweeter? Add cinnamon. |
