Last week we are living rapid temperature chances. Crazy weather! And a risk of an infection is looming. So, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup. I have chosen my favorite soup recipe to share with you, my pumpkin one!
Pumpkin is a vegetable with great nutritional value with anti-inflammatory action and first-class source of protein. Brothers Grimm knew something when they referred to its magical qualities in the classic Cinderella fairy tale. It’s a miraculous superfood and it’s best to integrate it into our diet.
