Pumpkin Soup
Viviana Alvarez
To think about pumpkins make me think about Halloween. However, I am nowadays conscious that this fruit makes great contributions to the immune system. It makes sense now why it's so present all through the Fall.

Finely chop onions and garlic.
In a pot with the cooking oil sauté. Then add the water, the pumpkin, and let it cook until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and freshly ground nutmeg.
Take off the heat, add the sugar if you decided to add it, and put purée with blender or immersion mixer. The soup should be ready.
To serve, some might want a creamier texture. For those, add a dash of cream which will also serve as decoration. I prefer mine without the dairy, but every person has different preferences.
Bon appétit!
