Ingredients
Mixed Vegetable Soup
Peel, core and dice the pumpkin. Rinse the summer squash, cut off the ends and cut into small pieces. Rinse the bell peppers, cut in half, trim and chop. Rinse beans, trim and cut into 2-3 cm (approximately 3/4-inch) long pieces. Rinse and drain the peas (or thaw frozen peas). Rinse rice until the water is clear and drain well.
Bring the broth to a boil in a pot, season with salt, add the rice and the pumpkin and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add beans and bell peppers and cook another 10 minutes. Add summer squash and peas to the soup and finish cooking for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and sprinkle with basil. Serve garnished with thyme.

Healthy, because
Pumpkin scores with vitamin A for healthy vision and beautiful skin and with silicic acid, which gives us healthy skin and strong nails. Thanks to the wholemeal rice, the soup is satiating, calms the stomach and provides us with many B vitamins.
