Veronica's Pumpkin Soup

Veronica's Healthy Living
I’ve have more requests for this recipe at this time of the year than any other. My family can hardly wait for pumpkin season so I can make pumpkin soup. I make a big batch, can most of it in jars, and this becomes one of my go-to-meals! Pumpkin contains many nutrients necessary to keep the body functioning properly, including bone health. Eat up! And enjoy!
