While InstaPots are making room in our hearts and kitchens, I am still a fan of the crock pot. Having a soup simmer on the countertop all day reminding my belly what is in store for later!

One of my son’s favorite fall books is Pumpkin Soup. It is always fun to make some pumpkin soup of our own and read the book. This season I wanted to make a pumpkin soup that was not heavy with cream. We happened to have a lot of root vegetables on hand so I thought- let’s make it vegetarian and vegan friendly!
