Equipment

  • Blender
  • Deep Pot

Ingredients

  • 500 grams Sweet Pumpkin
  • 1 tbsp Pine Nuts
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts
  • 1/4 cup Roasted Almonds
  • 5 cups Water For soup
  • 1/2 cup Rice Flour
  • 1/2 cup Water For slurry
  • 5 tbsp Honey or Sugar Or to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the squash by removing the soft flesh in the middle and the seeds. Divide it into wedges and then carefully slice off the skin. Slice it then into smaller pieces.
  • Combine sliced pumpkin, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, and water in a blender. Blend until the desired chunkiness of nuts is reached. Otherwise, blend thoroughly.
  • In a deep pot, place the squash mixture and boil for 15-20 minutes until it has slightly thickened.
  • Make a slurry by combining rice flour and water. Add this gradually to boiling pumpkin and mix it right away to keep the rice mixture from clumping.
  • Season with honey and salt according to taste.
  • Garnish with nuts, eat it hot, and feel better!
