pumpkin cream soup

Pumpkin cream soup

I have one dear friend who’s crazy about Halloween and obviously pumpkins. “It should be Halloween everyday”! she’s always telling me. So today I brought the festive taste of her favorite holiday in my soup bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 pumpkin about 1 kg
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 2 l water
  • 1/2 ground nutmeg
  • 30 g dry pumpkin seeds
  • 1 pinch chili salt

Instructions

  •  Chop all veggies and put them to boil in 2l of veggie soup. Season with salt and boil until all veggies can be easily mashed with a fork.
  • Drain 75% of the water in a container and leave it aside. Use a blender to mix the remaining water and boiled veggies.
  • Add the ground nutmeg and salt if needed.
  • Roast the pumpkin seeds in a frying pan (no oil or salt added).
  • When serving, garnish the soup with 10 g of pumpkin seeds/serving and a pinch of chili salt. 
  • For a consistent meal, serve with a slice of whole-wheat bread (this will increase the kcals to 400/serving). 

Notes

 If the soup is too thick, add some of the drained water.
