Healthy, Spiced Pumpkin Soup

The weather is quickly turning and that means pumpkin-spiced everything and lots of  warm soups! The great thing about this soup, in particular, is the thickness really helps to make – and keep – you feeling full long after you’ve consumed it.

We’d recommend adding as little coconut milk as possible to keep this wonderful soup low in calories, but the decision is really up to you. Although we didn’t intend for it to be, it should qualify as vegan and still delicious.

We also really enjoy it with coconut milk for the added flavor and creaminess, but we guess you could replace it with cream (fat!) or evaporated milk. Either way, we don’t doubt that you will throughly enjoy this on a cold fall night!
