Roasted Turkey and Pumpkin Soup

So what a great PUMPKIN WEEK it has been!
** In review, Pumpkin is high in FIBER and Vitamin A (beta-carotene, reduces health risks) as well as iron, potassium, magnesium and Vitamin C. It doesn't contain fat, and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

And here's one last Pumpkin recipe for all you Jack O' Lanterns out there!
