Pumpkin is great for more than just jack-o’-lanterns and lattes! This versatile winter squash is full of fiber, potassium, beta-carotene, and vitamins A and C.
You can roast it, blend it into soups and sauces, or use it as a smooth cream or cheese replacement. Even the seeds are packed with nutrients! Ready to try pumpkin in something other than pie?
“One of my favorite family traditions from my husband’s Northeastern family is their annual Fall Soup Picnic. Not only do we get to hang out outside of the hectic holiday seasons, but it also brings out friendly competitions among us. My curried pumpkin chicken stew is one of the most sought-after hits at the Soup Picnic. The tangy, rich flavor stands out amid the ocean of Northeastern tomato-based stews or clam chowders! Utilizing pumpkin as the main ingredient makes you feel giddy that it’s finally fall, and it’s light and healthy enough for it to be your go-to soup recipe this season!”
