The Autumn is still present here in Germany and I decided to complete my plan to write a post about my butternut pumpkin soup. It was my first time I tried out this amazing sort of pumpkin which is so pretty and decorative, photogenic and healthy. Have you ever cooked a pumpkin? It was really heart to damage this beautiful pumpkin.
I hold one butternut pumpkin for my pictures because the natural color and the form is perfect as a prop in my food picture.
Do you use dairy products?
Pumpkins are wonderful to use in the kitchen. They have less calories! In that case I add some whipped cream for this soup to make it more creamy. LOL. I only use organic dairy products because I don’t want to support the animal abuse. I try to buy the highest organic label I can get. I don’t eat lots of dairy products. Normally I prefer plant milk or chia seeds as egg replacer. But sometimes I like to use them as well.
What is about you? Are you using dairy products? Or are you full vegan?
I watched a in German movie about harmful additives in food products. I’m really angry who the industry hoax us. We need to check carefully what’s inside the products we buy in our stores. Sometimes harmful additives are not shown really carefully. I bought my first vegetable broth without any additives in an organic store last days and can’t be more happy to found it.
In this case this soup is free from any harmful additives and industrial sugar. Please take care of the pepper in the soup because the sprinkle already contains a lot of crushed red pepper.
