A Delicious Slimming friendly spiced pumpkin soup. A beautiful winter warmer perfect for all of the family and great for batch cooking too. This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet.
As soon as the clocks go back and the dark nights set in I crave nothing but winter comfort food. Mr Fatgirlskinny and I have been slow cooking a lot of stews, soups and curry’s recently. Usually this time of year we would be jetting off somewhere hot and sunny, but no such luck! We will have to stick to comfort stodge to warm us through instead.
This is a classic, easy pumpkin soup made with fresh pumpkin that is very fast to make. Thick and full of flavour, once you have tried it for the first time this will be the pumpkin soup recipe you will make now and forever!
The best thing about this soup is it’s super creamy, mostly thank’s to the pumpkin and creamy natural yoghurt. It is gently spiced but still ensuring the pumpkin taste shines through. It is so easy to make and freezes well too.
