In honour of this trifecta of celebrations, Grayce and I have teamed with Staub Canada to shower some love on the pumpkin with a series of pumpkin-based recipes. 

Halloween is next week. I bet that there will be a lot of parties and parents who will be trying to get their kids to eat something before they head out the door. With this in mind, we have a super-simple recipe that comes together with very little prep and is ready for dinner in no time! This is a warm filling soup that is a good “in-a-hurry” meal. Leftovers are great for next day lunch.

Feeding a larger crowd? This recipe is a snap to double.

Happy National Pumpkin Day!
