Best Pumpkin Soup By Far
April 1st 2008 04:51
Soup is a comforting meal on cold winter nights and especially, too, with the rich colour of pumpkin...
The golden hue of pumpkins tells us straight away that they're loaded with beta-carotene (to reduce the likelihood of cancer and other serious diseases) and antioxidants (to promote general wellbeing and strengthen the immune system). Pumpkins are also low in fat and contain a number of essential vitamins. Try this recipe for pumpkin soup:
Pumpkin Soup (serves 6)
What you need:
1kg pumpkin
2 onions
2 cups water
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp sugar
½ tsp grated nutmeg
2-3 cups soymilk
