Delicious AND nutritious! Raw AND it actually tastes awesome too! I say that as I often have a soup fail when I knock something up in the blender. But this time it worked so well.
I have been tweaking this recipe on and off for a while now as when I first made it it just didn’t quite hit the spot! (It was actually awful and reminded me of my first raw soup that I made many years ago which was pea soup. I disgraced myself – it was vile!)
So things have improved in my soup-making skills department since those early days of raw and I am delighted to share with you my lovely pumpkin soup recipe.
It really does taste great! And if you, or your family or friends, are not ‘100% raw’ that’s cool. You can gently warm the soup or heat it to your taste. I say that as it’s great to have the flexibility of being able to eat something wholesome and hot once in a while. Whichever way you choose to serve it – don’t serve it straight from the fridge. It’s really hard to get some winter comfort from a chilled soup and so hard to really get the taste: room temperature or gently warmed is best.
I serve mine straight from the blender – as it’s usually gently warmed that way.
The awesome team at Udo’s Choice have listed my recipe in their online recipe collection – also go check out their amazing online recipe brochure – and I am THRILLED to have my soup photographed by a professional photographer.
