When you think about Thanksgiving, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it family? For me it is. I think about family. Specifically, my mother. She was born on Thanksgiving (the story is that my grandmother wasn’t sure if she was in labor or had indigestion from too much turkey!) so every year, Thanksgiving means it’s my mother’s birthday celebration.

When I was tasked with putting together a delicious new dish for Thanksgiving, I thought of making a dish my mom would – and could – enjoy. In the last few years, she’s been eating healthy and losing weight, and I wanted to create something that would incorporate all of the flavors of Thanksgiving into a delicious and flavorful dish that just happens to be healthy. Could it be done?

Enter Whole Foods Market and their glorious produce department. Beautiful organic fruits and vegetables, fresh and delicious, all arranged in colorful towers. I grabbed a whole bunch of vegetables and came up with this soup. It’s got all of the flavors and ingredients of Thanksgiving. It’s fall and winter comfort in a bowl. And it’s healthy…for my mom. And for you.

    The weather has just turned brisk here and this thick, vegetable filled soup looks like just the thing to get rid of a chill! The butternut squash and sweet potato are especially appealing. I am always looking for vegetarian soups that are hearty enough for a main dish. We will be trying this soon! Thanks, Miriam!

    I just finished making this soup and sat down with a bowl. I can honestly say that this is one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted- and I’m not normally a fan of squash or sweet potato. Thank you!

    I left off the salt and added 2 small diced zucchini. I also used water instead of stock and added bay leaves and 1/8 tsp of the following dried spices: thyme, oregano, marjoram and 1/4 tsp of dried mustard and garlic powder. It is delicious !! Thanks for the great recipe

    Is it safe to assume this is NOT a soup that will freeze well, due to the fact that the vegetables are left whole, not blended?
