Organic White Bean, Pumpkin & Chicken Soup (wheat-free, dairy-free, gluten-free)

This soup is extremely delicious and will be a staple in our home this Fall! It's quick and easy to prepare and will be on-the-table in 30 minutes.

2 tbsp organic EVOO
1/2 purple onion, finely chopped
1 (15 oz) can organic pumpkin
3 1/2 cups organic free-range chicken broth (substitute vegetable broth for a vegan/vegetarian recipe)
1 (15 oz) can organic Great Northern beans
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice seasoning
1/2 tsp sea salt
Black pepper to season
2 cups cooked organic free range chicken breasts, cubed (optional)

1) In a large pot, sauté the onions in olive oil over low-medium heat
2) Stir in broth, pumpkin, beans, pumpkin pie spice and salt
3) Simmer for 10 minutes
4) Pour mixture in batches into a blender and process until smooth (If using a Blendtec, you can pour entire contents into the blender and blend for 20 seconds on Speed 1)
5) Pour the soup from the blender back into the pot and reheat on low
6) Add chicken cubes (optional) and serve!

*If you opt not to add the chicken, you can blend 2 tbsp of Shaklee Instant Protein Soy to add 16g protein!
