Healthy, because

Even smarter

The complex carbohydrates from the potato ensure a long-lasting satiation. The pumpkin has a stimulating effect on the bladder and kidneys, because the abundant potassium in the pumpkin gently frees the body from excess water retention. The pumpkin seed oil protects against free radicals and helps to counteract cardiovascular diseases.

If you want to make this creamy pumpkin soup without animal products, simply leave out the cream and crème fraîche. The dairy products can be replaced, for example, by yoghurt and cream alternatives based on soy, coconut or rice.
