Check out my recipe for Curried Pumpkin Soup. This is the perfect soup to start off your Thanksgiving meal. Did you know that studies show that starting a meal with soup can actually help to prevent you from overeating?
This soup is high in vitamin C, pumpkin is also a great immune system builder for flu season!
