Tis the season of soup! When I lived in Hawaii I never fixed soup because it was simply too hot all the time! This year, my crockpot is getting much more use because it’s easy and makes yummy meals that are great after a long day of work (and also great because it provides me with leftovers for lunch the next day!). This soup is a take on the soup my brother made while I was home over Christmas. I added a few other ingredients and spices, and a hearty can of pumpkin. I’m not a vegan, but I do try to go meat-free a couple days a week. Give this soup a try, it’s really yummy!
