Sassy Salsa Pumpkin Soup
I know this sounds crazy, but I just made it and it is yummy!! Sorry I can't give credit for it. I copied it from somewhere recently, but can't remember where--maybe here; maybe from hungrygirl.com. Also, I know the sugars seem high, but it is all complex carbs.

Vicki, can you tell me how big the serving size is?
I saw this recipe at www.hungry-girl.com as well and thought it sounded yummy.
I'm just trying to think of a way to increase the protein calorie-to-total calorie ratio and to make it more filling for my pouch. I'm thinking of adding cooked shredded chicken breast to the soup.
