Voila, salsa soup! Doesn’t get much easier. Tasty too, though truth be told I could just pour the pumpkin chipotle salsa in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. Use any salsa, though a chipotle variety works best with the pumpkin in my opinion. Canned pumpkin is great lo-cal way to sneak in some fiber and vitamin A. Remember how mom told you to eat carrots to keep from getting glasses, that is the vitamin A. It’s also great for your skin, bone and hair health. More good reasons to love the salsa!
Okay Jacky – you've convinced me to find and buy that salsa!
Love your quick soup idea too – I can eat soup every day of the year – including when its 90 degrees outside (well, if I am in air conditioning!)
