Delicious Pumpkin Soup

This super tasty soup is sure to raise your spirits and put you in a festive fall mood! I highly recommend making your own stock or broth with a whole chicken following this super simple chicken stock recipe or bone broth recipe! We also sell bone both if you want to skip that step and still get a super flavorful and nutrient dense soup.

If you're short on time, make this in the slow cooker! Super easy, no fuss, and you come gome to greatness after a long day!

Pair this with some fresh bread and a salad to make a complete fall fireside meal!

Recipe Notes

The soup is delicious on it's own, but some bacon crumbles on top really makes it ultimate comfort food! If you like spice, add a little cayenne to garnish.

If you want to go the slow cooker method (my favorite way of cooking) add all ingredients to the slow cooker and mix together. Set for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. When finished, use an immersion blender to really blend and smooth everything. Easy and delicious!
