Chicken Pumpkin Soup

Chicken Pumpkin Soup

It’s that time of year again! The time for all things pumpkin! Although, it doesn’t feel quite like Fall here in Texas this week. Last week, the temps were awesome, and you could actually feel Fall in the air! That’s life in Texas for ya!

I’m not really big on sweet pumpkin dishes, but I love savory pumpkin recipes. I had a can of pumpkin puree that had been hanging out in my pantry for a little while, so I decided to create a savory pumpkin soup with it. My husband and I both loved how it turned out, and I can guarantee that it’s a soup recipe we will see many times over the next few months.

*If using canned pumpkin, be sure to buy the can of pure pumpkin puree and NOT the can of pumpkin pie mix.

If you’ve been here before, you may have noticed a few design changes to the website. Last weekend, I decided it was about time to make a few cosmetic changes to the blog. If you are new to my blog, welcome!

Do you prefer savory or sweet pumpkin dishes? What’s your favorite way to eat pumpkin?
