Creamy Pumpkin Soups

4. **Add the Cream:**
– Stir in the heavy cream and maple syrup or honey if using. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Heat the soup gently, making sure it doesn’t boil, just to warm it through after adding the cream.

5. **Serve:**
– Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. You can also drizzle a bit of crème fraîche or sour cream on top for added richness.
