Pumpkin Soup南瓜汤

on

Today is Halloween celebrations. In order to celebrate this day, I made pumpkin soup. Yeah, Pumpkin😘. We love pumpkin!

My pumpkin soup is easy to make, because everything is thrown into a pot; boiled; blended; boiled and served.

I can’t say that my version is exactly the same, but it is equally satisfying and fresh. It’s utterly delicious in its own right.

Pumpkin soup is so good on its own, it does’t really need ‘help’ with any additional ingredients. However, for an incredible depth of flavour, adding a swirl of cream adds extra richness to the soup.

  • If the soup are too watery, just add in some stach water to thicken the soup.
