If you don't have fresh sage and thyme, use a teaspoon or so of dried thyme leaves and one of sage. Add more after you taste it so you don't overpower the pumpkin flavor. I used Libby canned pumpkin puree but you could roast your own pumpkin or squash and blend until smooth before adding it to the soup. This soup is easy to eat and digest. Plus it is a gorgeous fall color!
