Savory Pumpkin Soup

This creamy, dairy free soup is loaded with flavor, comes together easily, and makes a perfect light meal or starter. Thanks to canned pumpkin puree, it comes together quickly. Make sure to pay attention when buying canned pumpkin; it’s easy to inadvertently pick up a can of sugar loaded pie filling, especially around the holidays! 

This recipe is inspired by one of our members.  Thank you Mary!
