Nutritional values

Pumpkin seeds and their oil provide many important vitamins, including vitamin E, which is considered an effective cell protection and natural anti-aging agent. They also contain substances that can lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease, and their valuable fats protect the heart and blood vessels.

For a vegan option of pumpkin cream soup you can replace the cream with 2 tablespoons of light almond paste or alternative products from the supermarket.

Cut the lid from 4 pumpkins and scoop out the seeds and fibers. Keep the hollowed-out pumpkins warm in the oven at 80°C (approximately 175°F).

Peel the onion, garlic and ginger, and finely chop.

For the soup, heat olive oil in a pan and saute the ginger, garlic and onion in it. Add the pumpkin and potato chunks and saute briefly. Pour the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for about 25 minutes over medium heat.

4.

Puree the soup finely, season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, and stir in ground curry to taste.
