Soup night, every night.
Fall vibes on fleek! We have said it and will say it again. Soup season all year long for us. This creamy (without the cream)ginger turmeric pumpkin soup will be your new weeknight go-to. Filled with roasted sautéed veggies that are cooked with yummy ginger and turmeric that give the soup an earthy vibe. Then, add in peanut butter that helps give the pumpkin that nutty taste, you will love it! The best part is you can eat this all soup, and for you fellow non-dairy peeps, your tummy won’t feel all bloated with all that heavy cream. These types of soup are my jam, and happy to share this fav with you today. It’s soup season!!
