Warm Pumpkin Spaghetti Squash Collagen Soup

Sweaters, Blankets, Bonfires…it’s Fall y’all.

And that means warm comforting soups and dishes that are more hearty than their Summer Cousins.

The problem is, sometimes we make things so ‘hearty’ with beans, pasta, rice, and bread that before we know it, we’ve become ‘hefty’….and by eating soup no less! Well not today!

The warmth in this dish comes from its spices and the decadent flavors of sweet pumpkin/spaghetti squash paired with luxurious coconut milk and spicy smoked turkey sausage. It’s balanced with Fiber, Fat, Protein and Greens! CB Supplements Collagen not only helps heal your gut for all those Holiday Hot Toddys you’ll be drinking, but it acts as a natural thickening agent, similar but to a lesser extent, like arrowroot powder.

This fall soup will keep you wonderfully full without unnecessary carbs or calories.

Recipe Tips

• If you don’t have a handheld blender, no worries! Just purée the roasted pumpkin and squash in a blender, then add it to the saucepan along with the chicken bone broth.
• Have no fear making this a day or two before you plan to serve it! It should keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. I made this soup one day prior to serving it, and it was AWESOME the second day!
• Amp up the nutrient count, by adding a couple cups of Vitamin K Rich Kale to this recipe.
