How to make a Different Pumpkin Soup

You may or may not have tried pumpkin soup before…probably most Americans have, but maybe not those of you from other countries.  Either way, I bet you haven’t tried this recipe before!  I came across a pumpkin soup with a twist.  It is pumpkin soup with peanut butter!  Yikes!  I’m not so sure about this, but thought it was worth sharing.

Recipe:-

4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cups canned pumpkin
2 cups cooked pureed sweet potatoes
1 cup smooth, no sugar added peanut butter
6 cups of vegetable stock (yeast free if you can find it)
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream

Pumpkin and sweet potato both have some great nutrients.  Beta-carotene and other antioxidants are at the top of the list, along with fibre.  If you have trouble finding pumpkin (as I have experienced in the UK), you can substitute more sweet potato for the pumpkin.  You’ll just have to change the name of the recipe :)

To your health,
