Pumpkin Soup Is So Much Fun

..today, as I was eating my pumpkin soup, I remembered about one occupation that amused me at the times when I was a little girl.. whenever I found a plate of soup in front of me I indulged into playing with the dots of oil floating on its surface.. ..with the help of the spoon I brought two (or more) dots closer to each other and wrecked the borders between the two and thus they fused into one larger oily dot.. ..it’s not hard to guess how I diversified the pumpkin soup consumption.. ..amusing indeed))..

..vibrant sunny soup warmed me up, filled me with energy and turned out to be so entertaining J

Multiple thanks, the Universe!

there's a star at the bottom of my plate!! ;+)

..meanwhile the soup does not take much effort to make it.. all you need is… love)) haha!! suuuuuure)) how can one get along without love? J then you will need some pumpkin (cut it into small pieces), a sauce-pan, I believe, and some water.. ..you can make it thick or thin – it’s up to you how much water to add (I preferred the happy medium between the two).. ..make a bonfire (mmmmm..I wouldn’t refuse some pumpkin soup cooked this way) or turn on your stove.. ..do not boil the pumpkin for too long – small pieces of pumpkin are cooked in no time.. ..add anything you like to go to your soup.. ..mine had some pan-fried onion and I also put a couple of thinly grated garlic cloves right before turning the soup off.. ..when it was poured into the plate I added some freshly-chopped cilantro.. …mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. beleza! J

Brazil made me like pumpkin to the extent I've come to adore it. Most frequent I could eat of this fruit before was once in two months at best, now it comprises a great part of my dietary intake. And I'm only happy about that, as this squash plant is incredibly good for your body. While being low in calories pumpkin is a great source of vitamins and minerals (potassium, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and vitamins C and E ), anti-oxidants and fiber.
