Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Kymythy’s Kitchen Nutrition: A Delicious Pumpkin Alternative
By Kymythy R. Schultze, CN
www.Kymythy.com
Question:
I love the flavor of pumpkin, but I’m tired of pie! Is there something
else I can make with it? Also, I’ve heard that pumpkin is high in
something called beta-carotene – is that a good thing?
Answer: Absolutely! Pumpkins have been used throughout history as
both food and medicine and they’re grown almost all over the world,
ranging in size from very tiny to giants weighing more than 100 pounds.
This winter squash is an excellent source of antioxidants including
beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin – compounds that help fight the
damaging effect of free radicals that can cause heart disease and
cancer.
Pumpkin is a great source of fiber, and may be helpful for vision
disorders. It also contains minerals such as potassium, copper,
manganese, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus; vitamins A, C, B, and E; and
enzymes. It’s often used as a digestive aid for nausea and diarrhea.
If you’re using a fresh whole pumpkin for the following recipe, you can
even use the hollowed-out shell as a beautiful bowl!
Great Pumpkin Soup
2 cups pumpkin (canned)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice
1 cup unsweetened carrot juice
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree. Serve
warm or chilled. Pour into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped
pumpkin seeds. Makes about 4 cups.
