Curried Pumpkin Soup

Add to favorites

Autumn harvest vegetables are ready at your local farmers market, and among the sweet potatoes and winter squash, you'll find the pumpkin. Rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body, pumpkin has a multitude of uses beyond the traditional pumpkin pie. This delicious vegan soup (no dairy or animal products) will be a big hit at any autumn gathering.
