Spiced Pumpkin Soup

This delicious and warming soup is ready in just 25 minutes, to let’s get started.

To begin, in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat, melt butter and add the onions, and saute until fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).

Next, add the spices and stir to combine. Then pour in the pumpkin, bone broth, and collagen, and stir to combine.

Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.

After about 10 minutes, remove from heat, and use an immersion blender to blend the onions into the soup. Finally, stir in the heavy whipping cream.

Divide into bowls and top with any additional toppings you like.

Recipe Notes

• This recipe can be made dairy-free by using coconut oil instead of butter and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
• If you want to make it vegan, omit the collagen powder and bone broth, and opt instead for vegetable broth. You can also switch out the heavy cream for coconut cream and butter for coconut oil.
• Make sure your canned pumpkin comes in a BPA-free can.
• If you want, you can also use fresh pumpkin or another squash like butternut squash. Stay away from sweet potato, however, because it’s too high in carbs.
