Low Carb Savory Pumpkin Recipes

When fall comes around I seem to only think of pumpkin. While I have quite a few sweet recipes I also have a few other savory pumpkin recipes. One of my most popular is my creamy pumpkin, sausage & kale soup. Pumpkin can add a bit of sweetness and also act as a thickener to soups. It’s nutrient dense but low in calories. Some people even consider it a superfood.

Cauliflower rice is very easy to find in grocery stores these days but I prefer making my own. I just take a few florets and pulse them in my mini food processor. Once it looks like grains of rice I take it out and do another batch.. This takes only a few minutes. I like to make extra and use it for other low carb recipes.
