Oh Megan - I feel for you.  I lovce pumpkin soup and also can't get
pumpkins here except at Halloween.  However, we can buy canned pumpkin
and I have to admit that using this is MUCH easier than cooking the
whole damn pumpkin and then struggling to remove the skin.  Also, the
water content seems to bne about right for thingsa like soup and
pumpkin pie.

Try searching for the canned stuff.
