Question - do you peel the pumpkin? I have always done so, but a couple of friends recently both told me they didn't, although they did stick to the pumpkins with softer skins, or else butternut pumpkin.
'Nother question - do you have a prefered type of pumpkin for soup?

Hello, I do peel the pumpkin, as its only cooked for about 20 mins. If I bake pumpkin I don't peel it, and I eat the skins also.
Any kind of pumpkin is good for soup in my books, if you add some sweet potato it makes it just that little bit creamier.
