It’s fall, so it’s time for pumpkins!
Lorelei at Dollywood last Fall
However, those of us who are doing low carb must forswear pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies. So sad for us!
Luckily, pumpkin lends itself well to savory dishes as well. The following recipe, which I picked up at my last visit to the wellness nurse, is adapted from this one.
Low Carb Pumpkin Soup
12 oz. sausage
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/8 t. garlic
fresh basil, oregano, and rosemary, to taste
1 can pumpkin
4 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. whipping cream
1/2 c. water
salt and pepper to taste
Brown sausage, crumbling as you cook. Drain (not in the sink, remember!) and return to the pan. Add spices and saute until done. Add pumpkin and mix well. Stir in broth. Simmer 20-30 minutes. Stir in remaining liquids and simmer on low 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
Servings: 6

This sounds great! Thanks for the recipe. Low Carb & Pumpkin yum.
We loved it. Even the people in the house who you would not expect to loved it!
