Pumpkin soup with carrots and ginger - a thick creamy vegetable soup with milk and cream. This recipe is based on Indian cuisine with a few author additions. Optionally, use a traditional set of spices - curry leaves, cumin, coriander, black and red peppers and fenugreek. Spices should be added at the stage of roasting onions with ginger and garlic.
For the diet menu, cream should not be added to pumpkin soup, you should also reduce the amount of oil for roasting vegetables. The calories per serving will be less, the taste will not be so rich and creamy, but all the nutrients and most vitamins will remain.
Argued that all Indian soups are so sharp that not everyone will like it. In fact, it all depends on the cook, instead of a whole chilli pod, take a half, replace the ground red pepper with sweet paprika - the aroma and hint of burning will remain, and the soup will not work so fiery.
By the way, some chili varieties are so “evil” that a few ringlets are enough to make its presence felt even in a large saucepan. Fatty cream and butter soften the hotness of pepper.
