Pumpkin soup is a healthy, vitamin–rich dish.It turns out very tasty and beautiful with a rich pumpkin flavor and satisfies hunger well. Such a cream soup can be eaten in a fast if you remove butter and vegetable oil from the ingredients and do not fry the products, but immediately send them to cook. Pumpkin for its preparation can be used of any varieties. In this recipe, I take the variety "Butternut" or as it is also called nutmeg. It has a delicate aroma, sweet taste. This makes the soup a little sweet. I decorate the soup with pumpkin seeds, but you can just serve it with herbs or delicious croutons, with sour cream or add delicate cream to the soup. Pumpkin contains almost no proteins and fats. It is rich in dietary fiber, which is useful for the digestive system. Also vitamins A, E, C, beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. And pumpkin also contains B vitamins (B1, B2, B5, B6, folic acid, PP) from 3 to 8% of the daily value per 100 g of the product. Pumpkin is rich in micro- and macroelements: potassium, calcium, magnesium, cobalt, copper. A small amount contains phosphorus, iron, iodine, manganese, fluorine, zinc.

The amount of water specified in the recipe can be reduced or increased at your request, depending on whether you want to get a thick or more liquid soup.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
