Healthy, because
Due to the sulphur substances it contains, chives not only have a mild pungency, but can also have a slightly antibacterial and germicidal effect. This has a positive effect on digestion and supports the immune system. Parsley is good for the body cells due to its vitamin E and calms the stomach due to its essential oils.
Even smarter
This pumpkin cream soup can be supplemented with any herbs of your choice. Of course you can also make it with other types of pumpkin, such as butternut pumpkin.
