WHITE BEAN AND PUMPKIN SOUP BISQUE WITH SAGE PESTO RECIPE

This is two recipes in one: a creamy, rich pumpkin bisque and an earthy sage pesto, the perfect makings of a speedy first course for a holiday meal or a light lunch or dinner.

The soup can be made a few days ahead and then topped with fresh pesto to keep the flavor and color vibrant when serving.

If you have a real pumpkin laying around, make your own pumpkin puree for even more homemade goodness.

Blendtec or Vitamix and a few other high power blenders can heat soup through friction, but you can make this recipe in a regular blender as well – just return it to the stove at the end to cook.

Easily make this a delicious vegan soup by swapping butter for a quality oil, chicken stock for vegetable stock and using a milk substitute and vegan parmesan cheese (I love the Follow Your Heart Brand).

Aside from smoothies, I LOVE making soups in my blender. If you’re like me click here for more Vitamix soup recipes.

SAGE HEALTH BENEFITS

Herbs don’t just make everything taste good, they also have health benefits that often go unnoticed.

Sage can reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s, depression, and even digestive problems.

Historically, sage has been used for medicinal benefits in dire times.

It was one of four herbs that went into a tonic believed to ward off the plague!

Research shows that sage is great at improving memory, and high levels of Vitamin K and various antioxidants make sage a nutritious addition to any meal!
