This pumpkin soup looks delicious!!
I appreciate that you call it skinny but would really appreciate if you would also put nutritional information with your “skinny” recipes.
There is actually a button under the picture that will take you to the Nutrition Info! Hope this helps!
can you use rice milk instead of skim milk?
Great recipe! I’ve never made a pumpkin soup before, definitely want to give it a try. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love this soup. So easy! Thank you and have a fun and happy Haloween.
We have never tried that, but it should work if the consistency is the same.
can i use can corn instead of frozen corn?
Canned corn will work great too!
I tried this soup last night. It was… Ok. It lacks depth and needed some oomph! I had a piece of cilantro in my bowl from using the same cutting board that I used earlier in the day… it was good! So I thought I’d try a little bit of cafe rio dressing in my soup. It ended up being delicious!
Can this be made in the crockpot?
Should be fine in a slow cooker!
How many smart points?
I’m not seeing the nutritional info. I made this tonight. It was really good!
