PUMPKIN SOUP: THE BENEFITS FOR SLIMMING

The pumpkin soup recipe you will see below, first of all contains pumpkin, which has important amino acids such as citrulline and arginine. Arginine helps you have more energy, while citrulline activates brown fat and maintains lean mass . This is why pumpkin soup is perfect for losing weight in the winter.

It also has excellent quantities of vitamin A and above all provitamin A, vitamin C and potassium: thus it stimulates the immune defenses, supports the thyroid and deflates.
Its sweet taste makes it ideal for those who tend to eat too many sweets and carbohydrates in general, because it satisfies without weighing it down.

The variations of the recipe add the umami taste , the basic taste considered the most satiating that I have already described to you in the umami diet .
Finally, the secret ingredient of this soup is its flagship: konjac powder. It nourishes the good bacteria of the intestine, helps to fill up and allows you to create a creamy soup without the use of starches.
You can use it in the kitchen to thicken soups, spoon creams and more.
