Pumpkin, Tomato, Potato, Carrot and Chestnut Soup

Why people make this soup

Pumpkin, tomato and carrot are all rich in pectin, which Nourilo has long pointed to as helpful for carrying off heavy metals and other unwanted substances and for looking after the gut — so eaten regularly they are traditionally associated, indirectly, with a brighter, more even complexion. On a hot day when heavy meat dishes feel like too much, this pectin- and antioxidant-rich vegetarian soup makes a tasty, nourishing pot.
