Healthy, because
Pumpkin supplies the body with beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A and is good for the eyes. Ginger contains essential oils like gingerol, which has a calming effect on the stomach.
Even smarter
Crackers or crispbread go well with the soup. You can refine the taste with a fruity balsamic vinegar, for example.
