Dinner: Tortilla Pumpkin Soup
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/13351/chicken-tortilla-soup-i/
The recipe didn't actually call for pumpkin, but because I had a pumpkin on hand (pretty amazing my pumpkin lasted this long from October!) and wanted to check out a pumpkin cookie recipe (not to mention I really wanted to get rid of the clutter of having a pumpkin on my counter for the last 4 months!), it was a great opportunity to use in a soup! Pumpkin is a great addition to any recipe. It thickens and takes on a lot of the flavor of the dish. Loved how the pumpkin brought more depth and substance to this soup. The kids and the hubby loved it. We had this for two nights in a row, LOVE LOVE leftovers! Avocados sliced on top, is my favorite way to eat it. With of course tortilla chips! My son loves to drown his in cheese, if I weren't on this elimination diet, I'd be right there with him. I can honestly say this tasted amazing without it! Love when something tastes good and is healthy! Gives me motivation to continue and satisfaction that food can still be amazing without all the extras.
You may have to add a bit more spice than the recipe states. I always play around with recipes, but this was a great starting point!
