Hi everyone! I didn’t have much inspiration this week, so now you have a whole column of recipes that I particularly enjoy when I have time to cook them.
Pumpkin soup recipe
Pumpkin soup is filling, tasty, low in fat. It’s also a great source of immune boosting vitamin C and A.
Serves 4
Ingredients
750g of pumpkin
Medium potato
Half an onion
About 2 tablespoons of vegetable stock powder
1 litre of boiling water
1 Tablespoon of canola oil (olive, sunflower oil)
Method
Chop onions, fry in pan with a bit of canola oil. Chop potatoes and pumpkin and add to the pot along with the water and vegetable stock. Boil and mash the vegetables when soft. Serve hot with some whole meal toast. Have the left-overs for lunch the next day.

Tuna, avocado and cucumber sushi
