Healthy, because
Pumpkin is good for the skin and eyes, as it provides the body with a precursor of vitamin A. In addition to bone-strengthening calcium, the cream cheese also provides a good portion of protein.
Even smarter
Great tip and child's play: make your own cream cheese - it's much easier than you thought! In addition, you can round it off according to your preferences and use herbs and spices of your choice that go well with the soup.
