Flavorful Pumpkin Bisque Soup

Spice up your holidays with this healthy and delicious recipe!

Applesauce imparts a hint of sweetness to this silky-smooth, speedy soup. It’s so flavorful that no one will suspect it’s also sky-high in vitamin A, with respectable amounts of fiber and even a boost of calcium (evaporated milk provides the richness of heavy cream without the fat). If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use about 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and a generous pinch or two each of ground ginger and ground nutmeg.
