Great Thanksgiving Foods for Life!

By Brit Elders

Pumpkin Soup

This soup will warm you up with nutrition.

12 oz. Pumpkin* - cooked

1 1/2 cup Vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 cup Milk (I use almond milk)

1/2 tsp. Celery salt 1/2 tsp. Ginger**

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

4 drops Stevia - liquid extract

1 tbs. Chives - finely chopped For a little extra zip,

try adding

1/4 tsp. Red Tabasco sauce.

Place all ingredients in a large pot.

Whisk all ingredients together.

Heat on medium until the mixture starts to simmer.

Reduce heat to medium low.

Cover and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.

(Simmering for a period of time brings the ingredients together for a delightfully smooth taste.)

Serves Four

There are many ways to garnish this delicious soup. Sometimes I float a small broccoli floret right in the middle. Sometimes I lightly dust Pumpkin Soup with fresh ground pepper. Usually I don’t try to dress it up at all because the color is so rich and the texture so hearty.

I prefer to use canned pumpkin.
Why? It is much easier and most pumpkin packing companies do not add any other ingredients.

You might want to try using two 1/2 squares of fresh ginger instead of powdered ginger to bring out the ginger flavor in the soup. If you do, just remember to strain them from the soup before serving.

Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey

Anything that is made with these special ingredients is as close to perfection as one can get.

Organic Turkey

1 ton of LOVE

1 ton of LAUGHTER

1 pound of PLAYFULNESS

Welcome the turkey into your home.

Thank the turkey for nourishing you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Give the turkey a bath and gently pat it dry as you add in all of the other ingredients.

Bake it with a smile on your face.

Serve it with the graciousness of the Divine.

Bless it for nurturing you on many levels.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving every day of your life
