Iron from buckwheat supports healthy blood formation and oxygen transport. In addition, it contains silicic acid, which is good for beauty as it causes shiny hair and firm nails. The low-fat sour cream scores with proteins, which we need as building materials for cells and messenger substances. The pumpkin pulp convinces with vitamin A for healthy vision at dusk and in the dark.
Replace part of the vegetable stock with orange juice, this brings additional vitamin C into the soup and thus we can better absorb the iron from the buckwheat.
Which pumpkin do I choose best?
If it has to go fast, a pumpkin with the skin suitable for consumption is best. Hokkaido is the best known, the shell of the nutmeg pumpkin is in principle edible, but relatively hard. Therefore it is worth the effort to peel it. A lesser known variety is the patisson: you can use the rind in this one. If a nutty aroma and a creamy consistency are important to you, then choose the butternut. With the classic Halloween pumpkin, the flesh is perfect for soup and you can carve a creepy face out of the pumpkin.
