Healthy, because
Pumpkin, with its slightly sweet and savory taste, contains vitamins A and E, fiber and potassium; due to the latter, it has a detoxifying effect.
Even smarter
This soup is great to pre-cook in larger quantities and then freeze - so you'll always have a supply of the healthy meal on hand.
