As we enter fall, we’ll begin to see all the different types of pumpkins arrive to the supermarkets. Many of them are used only as decoration, but I like using them to prepare my own seasonal dishes. The pumpkin is a very versatile fruit, used in preparing both sweet and salty recipes. Most commonly it’s made into pies or soups. Besides possessing numerous health properties, it acts as an excelente antioxidant as well. One of the recipes I enjoy preparing most is this cream of pumpkin soup, for its bright color and delicioso flavor. This soup makes an ideal accompaniment or main dish, and can be combined with potatoes or carrots.
