I don’t know, pumpkin isn’t too expensive on special. Chicken isn’t too bad when drumsticks are on special.
A poor soup is still pretty cheap. But a fancy one with tons of ingredients? absolutely.
For pumpkin soup I follow Margaret Fulton’s recipe which is onion, pumpkin, bit of flour, stock, warm milk and butter. Toppings: cream or sour cream, chives, coriander, chilli or bacon. For extras: potato, cumin, nutmeg, thai curry, ginger, garlic etc. I rarely use butternut. I use whatever pumpkin is the cheapest.
Good soup is not cheap to make, minestrone especially. And then there is time and rent.
The big problem is our wages have stagnated so much the past few decades everyday items are becoming unaffordable.

Pumpkin is not the only ingredient. There is cream, cheese, a stock cube or stock, onion, garlic, black pepper, salt, carrot, potato, turmeric
minestrone with meat balls costs me $25 to make and a solid 1 hour of work , makes about 15 big serves
