Japanese Pumpkin Soup
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Pumpkin contains plenty of beta-carotene. The secondary plant substance is the most important precursor of vitamin A and is converted into its active form in the intestine. By adding fat, but also by crushing, our body can use the carotenoid optimally.
If you do have some soup left over, the pot on the stove is the wrong place: The dish quickly goes bad at room temperature. Instead, put leftovers in clean and tightly sealed containers. Once the soup has cooled, it belongs on the top shelf of the refrigerator - where it will keep for two to three days. Freezing is also an option and guarantees safe enjoyment even after three months. Do not fill the box too full, otherwise the liquid will push the lid open during freezing.
