Spicy Golden Pumpkin Soup

Just Like Golden Milk, But Better…

We’ve all heard of the golden latte, well have you heard of the golden soup?…

Well of course not, I made that up…lol

I did use the same spices in the golden latte in this pumpkin soup, so I guess it is a golden soup, but my version…

We all know vegetables kick ass in nutritional benefits, but did you know many of our herbs and spices carry powerful antioxidants and cancer fighting benefits too.

So I thought I’d add some to this pumpkin soup, to make a healthy hearty pumpkin soup even more healthier 💪

Creating a real depth of flavour, the vegetables is firstly, roasted skin on, then simmered together with vegetable stock and spices, and finally blitzed into a soft silky spicy soup.

Together with the lovely naturally sweet flavour of roasted butternut pumpkin, candy like carrots, caramelised onions, combined with the spicy, hot, fragrant flavours of cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, chilli and pepper corns , creates a beautifully sweet & spicy pumpkin soup, you’d sure want to add to your winter eats.

Mmmm Delicious.

Yep! A soothing hot soup, full of all the anti inflammatory, antioxidants and cancer fighting benefits, spices & vegetables can offer. And not to forget, its delicious too!

It’s sure a easy & tasty way to boost you and your families immune system during these cold, gloomy, spring weather in Melbourne.
