Warm up your winter evening with this nutty, sweet and creamy pumpkin soup. There is nothing better than dunking crusty bread into a hot bowl of soup.
Making the pumpkin soup without blending is a healthier twist on this classic recipe. Blending veggies destroys the fiber which is an essential part of a healthy diet. As well as aiding digestion, fiber adds bulk to your diet and increases feeling of fullness, a key factor in maintaining a healthy weight.
