As fall inches closer to us that means that suddenly every food I touch ends up being somehow pumpkin related.  I decided to try this Lentil Pumpkin Soup from Taste of Home this week using their new cookbook, “Taste of Home – Simple & Delicious”. 

This post is sponsored by Taste of Home in conjunction with Blog Meets Brand, and I have been compensated for my participation. All opinions are my own.

Do you ever find such a great cookbook that you just have to get in the kitchen and start cooking?  That’s how I felt with this cookbook.  It’s full of all the recipes that I love, simple & delicious!

That’s the type of recipes I lean toward on a regular basis, so “Taste of Home – Simple & Delicious” is certainly a fit in our kitchen.

I was immediately drawn to the vast array of recipe options that are featured in the book from casseroles, comfort food to sweet treats, it’s a one stop shop for recipes.

I decided to first browse the slow cooker section and quickly landed on Pumpkin Lentil Soup.  As soon as I saw those words, “pumpkin”, I knew that was the recipe I’d be trying first.

Not only is it tasty and perfect for fall but it is also such a frugal meal.  We had so much of it, we were able to divide it and freeze half to reheat later throughout the month.

I decided to pair ours with gluten-free bread; however, it would taste great with a whole grain bread too.

I added a little bit of extra cinnamon to ours too for another boost of flavor and of course it made the whole home smell delightful.

This cookbook is available now and it’s a must have!  This would make a great housewarming gift too.

Are you ready to try a bite?  It’s time to eat up.  Then, head on over to Amazon to pick up your book!
