Pumpkin Soup with Apple, Balsamic & Parmesan

I deeply appreciate how much Trader Joe’s embraces pumpkin. They sneak it into everything. A long time favorite of mine is the pumpkin soup.

There are endless possibilities for this pumpkin soup: stir into oatmeal, mix into pasta or quinoa, eat by itself with chunks of blue cheese on top. My most recent combination made for a fall-tastic lunch. Stir in a pinch of nutmeg, cayenne and curry powder, add chopped apple, balsamic and Parmesan then microwave for 2-3 minutes. Serve with some chopped veggies and pumpkin and cranberry pita chips (another TJ specialty).

A big bowl of this pumpkin soup goes really well with a college football game, a cozy sweater, a steaming cup of apple cider – or any of your favorite fall activities.
