During the winter, our diet usually undergoes somewhat of a seasonal adjustment. Soups and stews are a staple during the cold winter months. They’re ideal for warming our insides and a great recipe will do wonders for improving the winter doldrums.

Gabriella Mezanava has a truly delicious soup recipe that brings savory and a hint of sweet together for a fabulous marriage of flavors. Fill the pot with all-natural ingredients including pasture raised ground pork, grass-fed beef broth, and organic veggies, and you’ll also enjoy the health benefits of this yummy paleo pumpkin sausage soup.
