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!

I help people like you regain their health and lose weight on a plant-based diet.  

Hey there! I'm Terri

 
Thanks for checking out my website. 
I hope you find this an indispensable resource as you navigate your wellness journey. 

First, a little about me.
I have a Master of Human Nutrition from Deakin University (2018) and a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science from the University of the Sunshine Coast (2013). 

I am from Melbourne, Australia but currently based in Dallas, Texas. 
I am a mum of two grown up children and I’m married to the most wonderful man on the planet. I’m Fit, Fifty…ish and FABULOUS!!!

I have the cutest puppy on the planet!
 (Yes I do, check her out on Instagram @elvis_puppy_adventures)

I am dedicated to helping as many people as I can lead healthy, vital and happy lives. 
I advocate and teach a plant-based whole-foods diet, free from Animal products, Salt, Oil, Flour, Alcohol and Sugar (ASOFAS).
 I am a firm believer that food can be the best medicine (or poison – depending upon what you eat) and that you can transform your health with a change in diet and exercise.

I consider myself a bit of a health nut.  
So, I’m always looking at ways to improve the health of my family.  
Not just with their fitness and nutrition.
 
I firmly believe that our environment plays an enormous part in our health, and that eradicating chemical toxins from our homes...
such as those found in cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products...
can reduce cell oxidation and neurological disturbances and keep us healthy well into our old age. 

When I found out that everyday household items such as cleaning products and personal care products contain chemicals, some of them toxic to humans, I was shocked!
Since ditching the toxin laden chemical products from the supermarket and switching to natural, safe alternatives, my life has changed for the better.

I'm here to help you regain your health and protect you and your family from the debilitating effects of lifestyle disease. I'm so excited to join you on your journey.
