Nutritional values

The complex carbohydrates from the potato ensure a long lasting satiety. The tuber also provides a good deal of vitamin C, which supports the immune system. Pumpkin supplies the body with vitamin A, which is needed for beautiful skin and good eyes.

For a little more seasoning, you can season the cream soup with a little cayenne pepper.
