Fall is officially here, and with it comes crisp evenings, cozy sweaters, and the craving for warm, comforting meals. While it’s easy to reach for traditional autumn comfort foods, many of them are heavy and acidic. At AlkaViva, we believe you don’t have to sacrifice taste for health. That’s why we’re sharing this alkaline-friendly twist on a seasonal classic: Creamy Pumpkin Alkaline Soup.

This recipe is simple, nourishing, and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering. It’s packed with fall flavors and boosted with the benefits of alkaline water for a smoother taste and better hydration.

Why This Soup is Good for You

• Pumpkin + Carrots = Immune Support
  Rich in beta-carotene, these veggies support eye health, skin, and immunity – all important as we head into cooler weather.

• Ginger + Turmeric = Natural Anti-Inflammatory Power
  These warming spices help reduce inflammation and add a delicious depth of flavor.

• Alkaline Water = Smooth, Clean Taste
  Cooking with ionized alkaline water elevates your recipes, helping balance flavors while giving your body the hydration it craves.
