This nourishing pumpkin soup supports blood sugar balance, reduces cholesterol, combats anemia, and promotes heart health by helping cleanse arteries—thanks to its wholesome, anti-inflammatory ingredients.

To prepare, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pot. Sauté 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until fragrant. Add 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and ½ teaspoon sweet paprika.

Stir in 4 cups of peeled, diced pumpkin and cook briefly. Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the pumpkin softens—about 20 minutes.

Blend the soup until smooth, then stir in ½ cup of coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats, this comforting soup is both healing and heart-friendly—perfect for those managing blood sugar, cholesterol, or iron levels naturally.
