Healthy Pumpkin Soup
November 7, 2016 - 1 Comments
It’s getting cold outside and pumpkin season is about to end. It’s time for delicious Pumpkin soup recipe. This time around made with apple, freshly grated ginger and Thai basil.
Just take a look at these simple ingredients that are needed to cook this healthy pumpkin soup;
- Mini pumpkin
- Fresh ginger
- Sage
- Fresh Thai basil (this was an amazing idea as it added great flavor to the soup)
- Brown sugar
- Apple
I saw a ton of recipes for pumpkin soup that required you to roast the pumpkin. I did take a bit different approach and decided to cook the pumpkin in the pot and use an immersion blender instead of roasting it.
After you have your core ingredients in the pot, everything should go easy! Cook for about 30 minutes, use an immersion blender to blend everything nicely or transfer pumpkin and apple into a food processor and blend it that way.
