Orange Flavored Pumpkin Soup & Kitchen Connect-Singapore

Pumpkin, Carrot and Orange..Orange colored vegetables make this soup healthy. You are gulping in a cup full of soup rich in Vitamin A. Bright colored soups/food on the table adds appetite to already hungry stomach....The recipe was taken from Sanjeev Kapoor's book. Thanks to him the soup was delicious.

The recipe called for 500g pumpkin and 4 carrots, I just took 100g of pumpkin and 1 carrot and it served 2 people.

You Need :
Pumpkin : 100g, peeled and cubed
Carrot : 1 big, peeled and cubed
Onion: 2 pearl onions (small onions used to make sambar)
Garlic: 1clove
Greenchilli: 1/2 (you can omit if u want to add pepper later)
Orange Juice : 1/2 cup
Salt

To make it more nice : Fresh Cream : 1/4 Cup (I did not use it)

In a pan add cubed pumpkin, carrot, onion, chilli, garlic and enough water. Bring it to boil. You read right, there is no butter/olive oil used here.
Cover and cook till carrots are fork tender. Take it out of the stove and let it cool.
Blend all the contents and transfer to your soup pot. Add half cup of water and salt.
Heat the soup. Add orange juice and switch off the stove. Mix and adjust seasoning.
Serve Hot

KITCHEN CONNECT-SINGAPORE
a gastronomic connection...
"Inspired by Arasuvai friendship event started by Lakshmi of The Yum Blog"

After last blogger's meet we exchange e-mails frequently, chat online...etc and during one such mail exchanges and chats, Priyanka and Sowmya had shown their interest in the friendship chain event. Ideas flew in from Priyanka and Nupur and thus Kitchen Connect-Singapore took it's birth. The event is glued with blogger's meet which will be happening in the last week of July.

Some rules :
1. KC-S will happen in the month when blogger's meet
2. Each blogger brings in a packet which will contain a surprise ingredient for a fellow blogger. Please include a cooking tip for cooking the dish. Rest of the package may contain any other item of the blogger's choice.
3. Please write your name on the sealed package.
4. A lucky dip of all the packages is made and each blogger walks away with a challenge with her.
5. Each blogger will blog the dish cooked with the surprise ingredient.

Rest of the bloggers can see surprise ingredient recipes on Singapore Blogs from the month of August or last week of July itself! SG.Bloggers please use the following logo when you blog :
