Pumpkin Soup Made with Staub Cookware
It's that time of year again! The weather and leaves are changing, and the best part of fall? It's everything pumpkin season! We were super stoked to get ahold of the Pumpkin Cocotte from Staub because of its unique shape and beautiful deep orange and black color options. To celebrate this wonderful season, we used the cocotte to make a delicious pumpkin soup! This simple recipe allowed us to test the features of Staub's enameled cast iron cookware while getting us geared up for fall (especially Halloween)!

The high heat retention allows your soup to stay warm long after you remove it from your stove. If you're hosting a party, the cocotte will also act as a beautiful, eye-catching decoration piece.
