Pumpkin Leek Soup (Plant-Based, Paleo)

Pumpkin Leek Soup is warming and delicious! It’s the perfect recipe for fall with simple ingredients like pumpkin, leeks & carrots.

It’s pumpkin season! Whether you enjoy roasting your own pumpkin or using canned pumpkin for all those great Autumn recipes, you can’t go wrong …

Pumpkin is super low in calories despite being packed with nutrients.

1 cup of pumpkin contains under 50 calories, as it’s 94% water. This makes pumpkin a weight-loss friendly food since you can consume more of it than other carb sources (like grains and potatoes) but still take in fewer calories.

In addition, pumpkin is a good source of fiber, which can keep you feeling fuller for longer and support good gut health.

Pumpkin is very versatile and easy to add to your diet in both sweet and savory dishes. Give this Pumpkin Leek Soup a try – or browse my blog for more great pumpkin recipes!
