Marisa Sung’s Delicious Pumpkin Soup for October

October is my favorite month of the year because Halloween is my favorite Holiday and Autumn is my favorite Season. Also, my late Father’s Birthday was on October 9th. Each year we would all go away for a long weekend in New England for his Birthday Weekend! 🙂
