This soup gets a boost in protein from our new grass fed Collagen Peptides and features a blend of coconut milk, kabocha squash, asian pear, and cucumber. Like other collagen soups, this recipe creates a soup rich in flavor that helps to support joint and gut health.
In addition, the sweetness from the Japanese kabocha squash tastes like candy and is packed with anti-inflammatory nutrients like Omega 3's and beta-carotene. This soup gets a kick from spices like cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and cloves which makes up the flavors of pumpkin pie.
Garnish with mint leaves, dried cranberries, and almond slivers for the perfect collagen kabocha pear soup.
