No cream Pumpkin soup

No cream Pumpkin soup

Soups and salads are a must if you want to have a body which is healthy and can withstand in any circumstances.

I have been meaning to find soup options to the veggies that I hate.The thought of having pumpkin is not at all appealing to me hence I tried to convert it into soupy slurps so that one can enjoy the taste without hating the vegetable.

I am trying to swap my dinner of chapati, dal etc with soups and colourful salads to give my body more of vitamins and minerals and less of carbs.

This is a good #keto recipe.
