Oh this is so easy! Whenever I'm asked to share a "how to" of anything, I always get excited to boast one of the oldest pagan winter soup recipes.
Winter is heading this way and if you are anything like me, there's lots of soup on the stove.
On the coldest winter nights, there's nothing like the smell of pumpkin & cinnamon to keep me warm and I hope this recipe does the same for you.
I call it Witchy Winter Pumpkin Soup:
