A few weeks back I stopped over at one of my foodie friend’s house and smelled the most glorious aromas coming from their kitchen. I don’t even think I said hello before I asked, “What are you cooking?!” As her husband stirred the pot, one of their twins asked if he could have some yet.
Inquiring minds wanted to know, including mine! I wanted to taste it too! It was probably a good thing I didn’t because beans and I don’t do so well together. Although I love them and on occasion have paid the price or shall I say others paid a hefty bill.
Like the time we went camping with family and I just couldn’t help myself as I piled a big serving of baked beans on my plate. Not even my aromatherapy spray could save that one! I was kicked out of my own tent by my family! And trust me, they never let me live it down!
It reminds me of a song my brother sang as a kid because us Wicks’ are known for our navy bean recipes! “Beans, beans the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot”. Truthfully, we see beans of all varieties come back on 90% of the food sensitivities tests we do with patients.
Ok enough of that dreadful talk! I am so excited and well, kind of proud that I created this Chili Soup with out beans! No musical fan fair going on over here! The canned pumpkin addition was added after my attempt to chop a whole pumpkin about wreaked my knives and wrists!
The riced cauliflower and parsnips give this soup it’s texture and the canned pumpkin thickens it up while lending it’s savory flavors to my creation! Another Souper Soup said my taste testers; I hope you think so too!

With a Spoonful of Health,
Hi dawn! What did u top your soup with?? Looks great, can’t wait to try. Loved your pumpkin muffins I made last week
Hi Lisa, I am so glad you liked those pumpkin muffins!! They are one of my favorites too! I put sour cream for the picture’s sake (we are ok with some dairy on occasion). You could use some coconut cream from the top of a can or yogurt if you like. I added a 3rd can of pumpkin the other day (just because I had it) and loved how thick and orange it was. Enjoy and LMK how you like it!
Sounds great!! Now if our weather would cool down a bit we could enjoy it on a cool fall evening!! Wish I could pop into your kitchen and have this made for me!! Getting so tired to cook these days!
Hi Kristen, Florida weather is not always conducive for soups but may I suggest turn the air down and fake it until you make it. I will see if I can get a big pot of soup to you! Are you able to eat more these days?
Yes!! Still get sick and am still sadly relying on meds to keep from vomiting daily :(. But at least I’m eating!!
