There’s nothing better than warming up a cup of soup on a crisp autumn day (even if those days are few and far between in Central Florida). Available seasonally at Sunshine Seasons in the Land pavilion at Epcot, this delicious Pumpkin Soup is vegan and gluten-friendly too!

An easy recipe that is sure to impress, this soup makes a great side dish, or serve it with salad or a hearty piece of crusty bread as a main course.
