Fall is in full effect despite the last couple weeks in Michigan being unseasonably warm. I’m not complaining, even though our grass is dying from the lack of rain. We have a line straight down our property. One side is green, one side is brown. We don’t have underground sprinkling on all 3.5 acres so the poor outer edges have been suffering.

Not to worry though, we live in Michigan. Next week it will probably all be covered in snow. I heard this winter is going to be full of heavy snowfalls (say it isn’t so!!!). I’ve already been making calls to find a new company to plow our street. I can’t believe that time has arrived already!

In the meantime, I’ll enjoy this strange fall and ignore the lawn.

I’m currently making my way through P90 workouts (if any of you have done this series of workouts, I just switched from A to B and I am dying) and I glanced at the food recommendations and recipes. Included was a pumpkin soup. I changed a lot about it, but it was the inspiration for this healthy and cozy soup. I really love how this soup turned out, and when you use canned pumpkin, it really couldn’t be easier.

To season this soup, I opted to use my homemade curry seasoning but you could definitely use a storebought blend as well. Other than the curry, you’ll find your basics: garlic, onion, celery. I made it creamy with Greek yogurt because it’s what I always have in the fridge but you could also use coconut milk or sour cream. Keep in mind that smoothing it out with milk instead of yogurt will yield a thinner soup, so you may want to start with a lesser amount than what is called for in the recipe.

Tip: If you’re used to things being a little more on the sweet side, you’ll probably want to sweeten this pumpkin curry soup with a touch of honey. Give it a taste and make it your own!

This soup freezes well – I often freeze it in one serving portions so I can pull one out when I’m craving something warm and cozy.

Tip: To make vegan, use coconut milk instead of Greek yogurt and use a vegan sweetener like agave.
