The setup you describe provides a variable analog voltage output. Non of
the raspberry pi have the capability to directly read an analog voltage,
you need an add-on Analog-to-Digital-Converter (ADC) either as a "hat",
breakout board, or chip in a breadboard.
Googling
raspberry pi using a thermistor to measure temperature
gave a few hits such as ...

Happy reading.
