Tomorrow, the seasonings will have soaked in and it will be even more tasty!
I still haven't ventured off to look for holiday receipes yet.... but have been kinda kicking around different options in my head. Ever since Thinker mentioned Pumpkin Pie and Sunshine mentioned Sweet Potato Pie, I've got those flavors on my brain. I might have to break down & see if I can find at least a sugar free or fat free pumpkin creamer for my coffee 
Just from being back on track for the last 3 days, I can already tell a difference with how my body feels. When I eat crap or don't drink enough water, I feel sluggish. I guess the saying is right, "you are what you eat". Luckily, I'm back on track & feeling 100% better already.... mind & body!

Your soup sounds terrific!
Since several folks have mentioned pumpkin type things, I'll share one of mine.
Winter squashes are on my list of "Human Rocket Fuel" items, so I eat this all the time.
It's approximate since I use metric;
Cooked, mashed Butternut squash, 1 cupish
Agave nectar or honey, 1-1.5 teaspoonish
Cinnamon, lots (or maybe pumpkin pie spice
)
Salt, just a pinch
moosh this all up and make it hot
Top with walnut pieces 1/2 ounce (15g)
