Pumpkin soup

Halloween has already passed and you have no idea what to do with a pumpkin or even the whole collection of pumpkins? Why not just cook it? There are many ways of using this nice vegetable, but my favorite one is a cream soup. Firstly because of its optimistic color, secondly it warms-up in an excellent way and finally I love its thick and silky texture.
