It’s finally feeling like Fall in the Pacific Northwest! 🍁🍂🌲

Here’s a simple, savory pumpkin soup recipe to help warm your bones as we transition to this new season.

Pumpkins like many orange vegetables are chock full of beta carotene. Beta carotene is converted into Vitamin A in the body which is an important nutrient for immune health, eye health, skin health, and healthy mucous membranes. Vitamin A is also a powerful antioxidant, which helps scavenge for free radicals in the body and reduce the impacts that they have on the body. Plus, pumpkins and other fall squash are a delicious and nutritious source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and Vitamin C. There are many reasons to fill up on pumpkins and squash this season!

Golden Pumpkin Soup:
1 medium onion (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
2 cups carrots (finely chopped)
2 cups pumpkin puree (fresh roasted or canned)
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 ½ cups vegetable broth (add more for a thinner soup)
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon ginger (powdered or fresh grated root)
2 tablespoons cilantro (dried)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional but extra delicious)
Sea salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Saute the onion, garlic, and ginger (only saute this if using the fresh root version) in olive oil until soft (between 5-10mins).

In a blender: Puree the carrots, pumpkin, and vegetable broth until well mixed. Then add in the onion-garlic mix, coconut milk, ginger, cilantro, paprika, turmeric (if using), and blend again until a smooth soup consistency.
Pour the blender soup mixture into a pot and heat until hot, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then enjoy your delicious and nutritious soup! 🍲

Meet the Counselor at Hearth Natural Medicine:
Hi, I’m Josh Kraetsch. I’m a mental health counselor and art therapist at Hearth Natural Medicine. I focus on working with adults and enjoy helping folks understand themselves better, shift patterns that are no longer serving them, and gain more self-compassion and self-love. I believe we can all access a deep well of clarity, compassion, confidence and connection within, and I love seeing folks embody those qualities in new ways that spur their growth! Encouraging creativity in others is also very gratifying, because it is something that is so nourishing for me and can open up so many pathways for healing. When I’m not working at Hearth I’m at home playing with our kids Ada and Solomon, walking with Rebecca, working in our garden, or writing songs for my musical outlet on Instagram.

Meet the Doctors at Hearth Natural Medicine:
Hi! I’m Dr. Kate Briggs. I love my morning drive over the Hood Canal bridge and along Beaver Valley from Poulsbo to visit Hearth Natural Medicine to offer naturopathic care to a growing community of patients. At Hearth, I strive to help my patients access their foundations of health such as purpose, play and enjoyment, nourishment, restful sleep, mental and spiritual fitness, among others in order to meet personal goals in health and wellness. This allows me to take interest in working with all types of patients although my additional training in women’s health, gastrointestinal concerns, and adjunctive pediatric care open up a more specific skillset as needed. As a naturopath, I have a lot of tools in the tool bag to use as treatment recommendations to meet patient values of care. If you’re interested, I’m happy to bring in my love of herbal medicine as a focus. Driving home from Hearth I often stop to mountain bike in the Port Gamble trail system, which is an activity that fulfills many of my foundations of health. It’s fresh air, meditation, movement, play, and can easily turn into an herb identification project. Hope to see you there visiting my side of the Hood Canal!

Meet the Doctors at Hearth Natural Medicine:
Hi! I’m Dr. Erin Vicha. I’m a naturopathic physician at Hearth Natural Medicine. I love doing primary care and love being able to incorporate my herbal knowledge into treatment plans. I formulated the Hearth Heart Health tea for my patients who want to take care of their heart by drinking super yummy tea! I also do Craniosacral Therapy, which is a wonderful hands on therapy. I love women’s health and also work for the Jefferson County Health Department. When I’m not bouncing between my two jobs I am spending time with my kids, Sitka and Osha, and our dog Aster (the one photo bombing my picture!), or I’m out dancing with my boyfriend Bryan. I love hiking, hanging out at my favorite swimming hole in Quilcene, and DANCING!!!! Did I mention dancing? Did you know that dancing is not only good for your body, but also really good for your brain? It helps maintain neural pathways and coordination!
