Summary

I don’t normally write about food…usually I write about social media and marketing…but this is one soup recipe that a) is delicious and b) is very timely to share since Canadian Thanksgiving is just days away. I’ve made this soup several times and always to great appreciation from those I’ve served it to.

It’s a nice way to make something pumpkin’ish without going the traditional pumpkin pie route (although I’m not knocking pumpkin pie in any way).

So here it is. If you decide to make the soup – let me know what you think. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it!
