Pumpkin & Potato Soup Recipe

We’ve all enjoyed a version of pumpkin soup, a favourite that is easy to prepare and quick to cook. This delicious recipe feeds six and is a fool-proof guide to preparing the crowd-pleasing favourite.
 
Pumpkin owes its orange colouring to carotenoids, naturally occurring pigments which aid everything from eye-sight to skin health. The potatoes create a filling base, and contain niacin for aiding cardiovascular function. The chicken stock and cream add a richness of flavour to this classic recipe, although vegetable stock makes a good substitute if you are looking for a vegetarian meal.

Serve garnished with croutons if you wish to add a little crunch to this otherwise delightfully smooth soup.
