Spicy Pumpkin Soup

Summary

It has to be all things pumpkin at this time of year. Eating seasonal vegetables is not only good for the environment, but it also helps out our local businesses and is pretty good for you too!

If you have been carving our those beautiful orange pumpkins and have leftovers, then try out this warming winter recipe full of goodness.  The added ginger and tumeric is anti-inflammatory for that added support during the winter months.

Soup is such a great portable lunch, take it to work in a flask, carry it in the car, or simply store it in your freezer for another day.
