Pumpkin Soup

One of my all time fave meals is Pumpkin Soup!
Pumpkins are a literal powerhouse of nutrition; rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, iron, calcium, niacin and phosphorus
I make my soup with lots of warming and stimulating spices like ginger, cumin and turmeric and also add coconut cream
It’s easy to batch make and freeze in glass jars for a quick and easy grab which also makes it perfect for any meal prepping.
