Pumpkin, Tomato, Carrot and Frog Leg Soup

Why people make this soup

Many people worry about spots and dark circles, and while there are plenty of whitening creams on the market, they don’t always deliver. Nourilo’s gentler, thriftier approach is to improve your eating — favour fresh, wholesome vegetables, fruit and meat, and go easy on cheap, heavily processed foods. Pumpkin, tomato and carrot are among the richest in natural pectin, which is traditionally thought to bind unwanted substances in the body and help carry them out. These three are inexpensive and lovely in cooking, and frog legs add a savoury, energetic note traditionally used here as a “guiding” ingredient to carry the benefits toward the face. This soup is traditionally enjoyed to support a clear complexion and bright eyes.

Method

1. Peel and seed the pumpkin and cut into chunks; peel the tomatoes and carrot and cut into chunks.
2. Soak and rinse the dried tangerine peel; blanch the frozen frog legs.
3. Place everything in a pot with 2.4 L of water.
4. Cook for 2 hours until reduced to 1.2 L. Serve the soup together with the ingredients.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is sweet and tasty, good for young and old. Beyond supporting the complexion, it is also kind to the eyes. For best effect, eat the ingredients along with the soup.
