When it comes to warming up on a cold winters night, theres nothing quite like a hearty pumpkin soup. Full of body and flavour this soup is very filling and satisfying, boasting 8g of fibre per serve.
The addition of the cannellini beans is what boosts the fibre content also giving it a beautiful creamy texture and flavour. It’s divine.
Make sure you make up a big batch when you cook it so you’ve got leftover serves for later on.
