Winter is here and this delicious soup warms you from the inside out.
Pumpkin is a delicious low GI filling carbohydrate that is packed with goodness. It pairs perfectly with this Thai peanut ‘satay’ flavour.
Pumpkin is known to help boost vision with high levels of your daily vitamin A, proven to help reduce the speed to retinal function decline. Pumpkin oils contain phyroestrogens which can help prevent hypertension and lower blood pressure. Pumpkin can also help you sleep better with a high dose of typtophan.
This is the perfect 'feel-good-food' dinner to help you fall into a cozy winter sleep by the fire, ahhhh.
