This Thanksgiving Pumpkin Apple Soup recipe will be relevant as long as pumpkin, apples, and cooler days are relevant.
Thanksgiving has, in my opinion, totally been forgotten about. Each month, I write our local MOPS newsletter. The title for my article this past month was, “Remembering Thanksgiving.” In it, I said,
Each holiday allows us to celebrate something of significance. Thanksgiving is the holiday when we simply just get to be thankful. There are no gifts or the stressors of jumping from one event to the next. Instead, it’s a day when family and friends get together to celebrate all the things we are thankful for.
I firmly believe this.
We don’t spend Thanksgiving with family anymore because it’s just too hard with all of us flying, but we used to go to my sister-in-laws in Kansas City and we loved every year we got to go.
I have always looked forward to Thanksgiving. This year is no different. We will be spending it with Will, Jen and baby Jack and their families (we spend a lot of holidays with them, and are super grateful for it).
People have started asking me what I eat at Thanksgiving. My answer is always, “anything and everything I can eat.” This year that means anything and everything minus gluten and dairy. I don’t restrict food ever anymore, and I’m not about to start during the holiday season.
This is a simple Thanksgiving Pumpkin Apple Soup recipe to get your meal started.
