CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP
I LOVE Autumn and all the lovely flavours that come with it. Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Orange. So yummy.
Usually pumpkin soup is full of cream - or if it's vegan, it's full of cashew nuts to mimic that creaminess.
I've come up with a way to make this soup luscious and creamy WITHOUT any dairy and WITHOUT added fat, sugar or salt. So it's nut free too!
I used 2 types of pumpkin, Butternut and Kambocha, but you can use any kinds you like. I like these varieties because they add a really nice sweetness. And, if you are a pumpkin purist, you may say they are not pumpkins at all, but in fact are squash. Well, in my world if it's hard and orange and has pumpkin seeds inside, it's a pumpkin.
I used Essential Oils in this recipe to get the complex Fall flavours. They are so versatile and delicious, but be warned - they are very potent! Just a drop or two will do it and ALWAYS only use the Young Living Culinary Vitality Oils as these are safe to eat. Of course, if you want to use dried spices too, that will be fine.
A little sage might be lovely as well. Just spice it to your taste.
Let me know if you make this soup and leave a comment below.
Happy Fall Y'all!
