PUMPKIN & SWEET POTATO (KUMARA) SOUP
This is Pumpkin Soup with the volume turned up. Pumpkin soup can be boring but the addition of Sweet Potato (Kumara), ginger and a touch of curry powder elevate this soup from bland to blissful. I own a Bakery and serve this soup to take out with a bread roll. It walks out the door every time I have it on offer! It's a great winter warmer and kind to the waistline as well. Please try it - you won't be disappointed.
