High Protein Pumpkin Carrot Soup
One of my favorite ways to enjoy pumpkin is to blend it into soup, giving it a nice, creamy flavor without the calories. Not only is pumpkin a great source of bulk for very little calories, it also provides a good amount of vitamin A, which is helpful for eye health.
While pumpkin soup taste nice, having a vegetable-based soup usually causes us to feel hungry rather quickly after a meal. To reduce that possibility, we’re adding some protein in form of tofu to help us stay full for a longer period without increasing the calorie count too much. This also gives the pumpkin soup an even creamier texture. Now, you can have pumpkin soup as a proper meal. Yay!
