Pumpkin soup is a creamy and velvety dish that is perfect for autumn and winter days. Pumpkin, as the main ingredient, gives the soup a delicate sweetness that combines perfectly with carrots, garlic and onions. All blended to a smooth cream, seasoned with cream or coconut milk, it creates a rich and full flavour that envelops you with its aroma.
Pumpkin soup is not only a delicious but also a healthy meal. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, and thanks to its easy preparation and customisability (e.g. by adding pumpkin seeds or roasted onions), it is ideal both for a quick dinner and for an elegant starter on larger occasions.
