For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend after simmering. Be careful not to over-blend, as you still want some texture. Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers and red pepper flakes to your desired level of spice. Garnish with chopped cilantro or a swirl of cream for added flavor and visual appeal. Canned pumpkin purée works perfectly well, but fresh roasted pumpkin purée will elevate the flavor even further. Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
