Delight every one of your guests this season with a few healthy tweaks to a classic pumpkin soup recipe. Create a plant-based version that’s as rich and velvety as the one Grandma lovingly made, but more inclusive of everyone’s dietary choices. This feel-good soup recipe replaces heavy cream with coconut milk and adds garlic, ginger, thyme and the sweet surprise of maple syrup. A swirl of coconut cream and a sprinkle of toasted pumpkins seeds perfectly finish this pretty crowd-pleaser.
