Soup of the Day: It's The Great Pumpkin Soup, Queenie Barb!

Although often thought of as a fall season soup, pumpkin soup/bisque is a healthy option for everyone, especially those suffering from severe GI symptoms associated with POTS (ahem...like me.)  Thanks to my sorority alumni sis, Dorean, for sharing this super simple, healthy, and versatile version of a favorite soup of mine!  Give it a try, and let me know what other ingredients you like to add to it. 


Pumpkin Soup:
1 large can unsweetened pumpkin
1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 large can tomato sauce
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
salt and pepper to taste (LOTS of salt for the POTS crowd)

Saute onion and garlic in a little grapeseed or olive oil, then mix all the remaining ingredients together in a big pot and heat thoroughly.  It's great on its own, or as a base adding rice, chicken, sausage, steak, black beans and cilantro...well, you get the picture.  Enjoy!
