Spork and Knife

I’m not usually one for chains and try to avoid them during my lunchtime meanderings, but the other day I noticed that Au Bon Pain has embraced fall (even before mother nature decided to) and is now serving Harvest Pumpkin Soup.

Naturally I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised.  The creamy consistency was nicely matched with the subtle spices of cinnamon and ginger, and a large bowl was more than filling.   

Since the cold weather appears to be coming soon, this soup is a great way to warm up.  Au Bon is all over the U.S. and you can check here to see if one is located near you.
