We love Fall! It's the beginning of soup season, everything is still glorious, all the leaves, and of course: Pumpkin flavored foodstuff. This lovely soup is made hearty with pumpkin and sweet potato, sweet with maple syrup and has a great texture, making it easy to put into a mug and sip to your heart's content. Enjoy!

1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg

1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
