CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP/ HEALTHY PUMPKIN SOUP/ EASY PUMPKIN SOUP

Recipe for Creamy Pumpkin soup/ Healthy pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin has least amount of calories and is often suggested for weight loss. It is a good source of vitamin A and antioxidants.

This is a must try healthy soup with least number of ingredients.The simple flavours  of this soup makes it quite likable. Least efforts but excellent output!

The sunshine colour of the soup always attracts me. Recently I tried this dish and I quiet liked it. I prepared it a couple of times after that. The soup is quite thick. Some recipes call for sieving the soup for better texture but I personally don’t prefer that.
A no fuss recipe which I am sure you will like to prepare again and again.

Ingredients

• 500 gms pumpkin (diced)
• ¼ cup onion (finely chopped)
• 6 cloves of garlic (crushed)
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup milk /half cup milk+ half cup cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Mint leaves for garnishing

How to make

Heat olive oil. Add garlic onion. Saute until the onions turn translucent.

Add the pumpkin and mix well.

Add about 500 ml of water or vegetable stock. Let it come to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the seasonings. Keep it aside for 5 minutes.

Blend the soup in a blender for smooth consistency (do not add extra water). The soup may appear quite thick but it is fine.

Now add the milk or cream and mix well. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve hot with bread sticks.

Tips

• If the garlic and onion are browned the colour of the soup may change.
• After blending the soup it can be passed through the sieve for better texture. But that is optional.
