We're all about making our foods work for our bodies, and believe that the best meals are a combination of deliciousness and benefits. This Thai Style Roast Pumpkin soup combines rich and bright flavours together with beautifying benefits, which is always a winning combo in our books

Pumpkins are a great food for beauty. Their rich orange colour is due to the pigment beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant and precursor to Vitamin A.  Vitamin A and skin go way back, as it helps to regulate cell turnover. It supports healing, reduces congestion and helps to protect the skin from oxidative damage. 

We've also included a serve of our Vegetable Broth Garden Veggie which provides a dose of Zinc which contributes to maintaining skin structure, support wound healing, and support healthy hair & nails.
