Week 3, Day 5: Pumpkin soup

Today we tried some pumpkin soup for dinner. My daughter wasn't too excited about it at first. I had her try one version with coconut milk and one without, and she preferred the version with coconut milk. She liked it enough to eat most of one bowl. I loved it and went back for seconds, adding some rice to it for more substance. The little chunks are carrot and apple.



The recipe comes from The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen. I quartered the recipe and used canned organic pumpkin as it's the wrong time of year to find actual pumpkins. I didn't have any celery. I added more maple syrup than recommended (about a tsp per bowl).

My daughter is feeling better now that we've removed pineapple from her diet, and I've greatly reduced her intake of orange juice in case citrus in general is problematic (I hope not! She loves both orange juice and lemons).
