Pumpkin soup is not always just plain old pumpkin soup. Case in point. Get your mouth wrapped around this meatless Monday STAT. Easy, full of goodness

Pumpkin soup is a bit of a family favourite in our household. I like to mix it up a bit – I think I now must have at least enough pumpkin soup recipes to create a Magic 10 ebook with them all. If you haven't heard about our Magic 10 ebooks, it is time to get on board. You get them for FREE with Insider club membership or you can purchase the titles that tickle your fancy in store any time for immediate inbox delivery. We are trying to keep up with demand! Just CRAZY.

In the meantime, try this one on for size.
