Easy Mug Size Spice Pumpkin Soup
Happy Friday! Winter months is here and with the colder temperature I tend to crave for a hot bowl of soup. As a mother of 2 children, life is challenging. 😂 Time is key! You want to serve your family a quick yet healthy meal.
Pumpkin is a nutritious vegetables that high in vitamins and minerals. It is one of the most common food intake by Australian families. Pumpkin soup is classic and easy to make. It is so creamy and full of flavour. Kids LOVE it too!
Pumpkin soup normally pair with plain soft or crusty bread but today I’m going to serve the soup with Turkish sandwich. Hence, I half the portion of the soup to a standard mug size (or you can call it kid’s size) since we are having a filling Turkish sandwich.
Again, this recipes are super easy and quick to make! It should take no longer than 20 minutes and there you go a HEARTY meal is ready to serve a family of 2 + 2 !
