Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Earlier today I was speaking with a friend that needed to make dinner for a whole family that was sick.  My suggestion was pumpkin soup as pumpkin balances the bodies digestive tract by loosening or tightening as need. That is why pumpkin is often recommended to give dogs when changing their diets.

Years ago I created a very simple pumpkin soup recipe that only has three ingredients and everyone in my family enjoys it. Thus I will share it here.

1 can of pumpkin
1 to 3 cups of milk of some sort (I use rice milk, but you could use cow's milk or soy milk)
1 fennel bulb

-Dump the contents of a can of pumpkin in a pot
-Add the milk: if you want a thin soup add up to 3 cups, if you want a thick soup add just 1 cup
-Chop up the entire fennel bulb into very small pieces (I toss mine in a chopper that attaches to my blender)
-Turn on the burner to medium
-Add the fennel to the pumpkin and milk mix
-Stir until bubbles and then server

Besides the benefits of the pumpkin, what I like is you get a great vegetable in the fennel and you get some calcium from the milk.

Enjoy
