Did you know that one 1/2 cup of pumpkin has a mere 42 calories and provides a full serving of veggies? It's also 14% of your daily quota for fiber and has immunity-boosting vitamin A, C and potassium. Super food, indeed.
Pumpkin Soup:
- 3 cans of pumpkin puree
- 8 cups of water
- 8 cubes of chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons of brown sugar
- fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Heat chicken broth to a boil. Add in 3 cans of pumpkin puree as well as all spices. Simmer for an hour. Serve and top with cilantro. Delish. {next time I plan on adding a dollop of creme fraiche}
...and some wonderful links I ran across this week:
A terrific DIY link if you like sequins and tshirts.
I need to obtain this Nate Berkus lamp. I've always loved woodsy decor.
The cutest fringe boots for your tot - and to match mom. Bonus!
These shelves have been all over blog-land. I am dying to spray paint them gold and put them in our bedroom.
Ballet pink blouses always get me. This one is particularly affordable.

I love pumpkin, too. Pumpkin soup is one of my favourite autumn meals - I make it from fresh pumpkin and never cook it for a whole hour. Try it, if you like because nutritionally it will be much much better - vitamins are lost during cooking, so the longer you prepare your meal, the more you'll lose. x
This recipe sounds delightful! Happy Friday and have a great weekend! :)
