And this recipe is full of autumn vibes.
Reasons to make this Pumpkin Apple Soup
Exciting flavours
This soup is something a bit different and the flavours really pop, which make it quite an exciting dish.
The smooth, earthy pumpkin paired with crisp, fresh apple and zingy ginger is incredible.
Makes the most of seasonal produce in the Autumn
Take advantage of apple and pumpkin season, enjoying this seasonal produce at its best.
Spices to warm you up
Ginger and cinnamon are wonderfully warming spices, which not only taste good but will help get your circulation pumping. They're also powerful anti-inflammatories.
Freezes well
Of course, soups are wonderful for batch-cooking and freezing portions for later in the week or month.
This soup keeps well for up to 3 months in the freezer. Allow it to defrost over night before re-heating.

Anki says
The soup and the bowl itself looks lovely! I wish I could read the recipe though, no matter what I do, the link pushes me away from the original page and puts me on Laura Ashley's startpage for my home country. And there's no blog or soup bowl available.. :(
This is really frustrating. Is there any chance for us foreigners to publice it here?
Aimee says
Oh, sorry about that Anki. I didn't realise it re-routed for other countries... I will post the recipe it in the next comment!

This is a soup with a perfect combination of ingredients! Would you say that it's an anti-inflammatory soup?
Aimee says
Thanks Agness! Yes, I would say it has anti-inflammatory ingredients, particularly from ginger and spices.
