Sopa de calabaza mexicana #soupswappers

Sopa De Calabaza Mexicana

We are headed south of the border with Mexican soups, perfect for your Cinco de Mayo party in May!  You will have time to try these out and choose the perfect one for your gathering.  We are hosted by Karen at Karen's Kitchen Stories this month.  Karen has a wonderful food blog with all kinds of goodies, but if you like bread, well, you are going to be so inspired over there!

This pumpkin soup has a nice heat and sweetness to it.  It is made to accommodate my lifestyle, but I have put the equivalent in "normal" ingredients besides the ones that I use!  This soup is thick and perfect with a sandwich of your choosing.

Sopa De Calabaza Mexicana Tips

To make it a complete meal, try adding shredded cooked chicken to the soup.  It makes it even more filling and delicious. 
Top with sour cream and chives for a different taste profile.
If you are out of vegetable stock, use chicken stock instead.

  6. MMM! I love a good pumpkin-based soup! And with a Mexican twist? I'll definitely add this to my meal-plan this week. Everyone in the house is sick right now, so something hearty with a little spice might just be the key to perking us up.
