In times we are in quarantine, the perfect thing to add some variation & give a creative twist to working from home is trying out new healthy recipes. It is also a great way to keep nourishing yourself. A double win, if you ask me! Although fall is already over, this does not mean that my craving for pumpkins needed to end from then onwards. A steaming bowl of nourishing pumpkin soup is all I want, to give me an additional boost and moment of bliss during my workday from home. The best is that it is not difficult to make and the soup leftovers can be packed as meals for other days. Get ready for a savoury sensation that fills your heart and soul directly!
