GORDY IS IN HIS ELEMENT,
FALL IS HIS SEASON!
These leaves were right outside my door… the pumpkins are all over the place now… I am thinking about a pumpkin soup and you? If you have a great pumpkin, or any fall, soup recipe, or any other great pumpkin recipe, please share it/post it in comments on the bottom of the page. Thanks!
Haven’t tried it, but this sounds pretty good to me! http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Apple-Pumpkin-Soup
