Autumn in a Bowl: The Best Coconut and Pumpkin Soup
Soup is one of those dishes that gets better a day or two after it's made. Store it in the fridge and reheat for an easy, savory-sweet pumpkin and coconut lunch that's filling, healthy, and loaded with vitamins.
The pumpkin soup also pairs well as a starter. For the final presentation, add a touch of coconut cream, bits of cilantro and croutons, and a dash of red pepper if you enjoy a touch of heat.

Why we love it: Pumpkin coconut cream soup is a crowd-pleaser and readily available for when you need a meal that's filling, delicious, and fall-festive.
Make it for: The beginning of the week so you can enjoy it for lunch while you spend time prepping for the holiday. In addition, this soup is a great appetizer for Thanksgiving, and everyone will love the taste of fresh pumpkin and coconut cream.
