Step 1: Base & Simmer
In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine:
Tomato sauce
Pumpkin purée
Water
Diced tomatoes
Coconut milk
Salsa
Stir until smooth and bring to gentle simmer.
Step 2: Add Vegetables
Add in:
Peppers, green beans (if using), corn (or cauliflower rice)
Zucchini, squash, okra, onion
Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Flavor & Season
Stir in:
Salt, stevia drops
Apple cider vinegar
Cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, cloves, nutmeg, allspice
Simmer 10–15 more minutes for flavors to deepen.
Step 4: Finish
Stir in chopped parsley just before serving.
Taste and adjust salt, stevia, or vinegar if needed.
Serve hot — alone or topped with a dollop of coconut cream, roasted seeds, or low-carb croutons.
