Thursday Lunch/brunch: Pumpkin mushroom Coconut Milk Soup.😋🥣❤️🌺

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope your day is joyful so far! 🤗

For today, I made my pumpkin soup in my pressure cooker. Remove the skin was the hard part! 😅

I remember my grandma always said if you eat this, you will be so smart. 😂 I love this soup for many health benefits and great skin and eyes. 😄❤️

Main ingredients:

Organic Gluten-free, low sodium vegan vegetables broth.

Oyster mushrooms, green onions, and fresh pumpkins.

Dessert: Dragon fruit and chrysanthemums mint ice tea.

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Here are some of the health benefits I love about pumpkins:

Pumpkin is high in vitamins and minerals while being low in calories. It’s also a great source of beta-carotene, a carotenoid that your body converts into vitamin A.

It contains the antioxidants alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin and many others, which may protect your cells against damage by free radicals.

It is high in vitamins A and C, which can help boost your immune system. Its supply of vitamin E, iron and folate may strengthen your immunity as well.

It is packed with nutrients and yet has under 50 calories per cup (245 grams). This makes it a nutrient-dense food. It’s also a good source of fiber, which may suppress your appetite.

Hi Koko,

This sounds really good for any meal! I hope you enjoy it! Do you have leftovers for another day?😀👍

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed everything and you have leftovers for later. 😀👍

Lunch today was another cheese sandwich with mustard and a Greek yogurt on the side.

Dinner tonight will be Sloppy Joe’s and maybe another Greek yogurt, but I will have to see what happens when the time comes. I will try to get a picture of the Sloppy Joe’s tonight for everyone.😀👍

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

Your lunch sounds scrumptious and your dinner plan is very wholesome and delicious! 😋👍

Yes I do love food pictures as they make me happy and inspire for my meals too. 😄👍

I find if you roast pumpkin first, I makes it a lot easier to remove the skin

[Hidden in reply to Cooper27]

Thank you for your tip Cooper27! 🤗🙏

I’ll try that next time. It was quite a work out for me this morning 😂

[Cooper27 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

I know what you mean, I think I went a few years without buying any because it was such a pest to do!

I tend to roast it when the oven is on for something else, then you can scoop the flesh out, blend and freeze for later use

[Hidden in reply to Cooper27]

Yes I was struggling even I got the biggest knife I had in the kitchen. 😅

This is great as sometimes, they don’t have the small size one and I had to cook the whole thing 😂 Plus I can make pumpkin pie for dessert. 👍

[Hidden]

Thank you Happyman4 for saying this about my soup! 🤗🙏

Now you intrigued me very much with egg lemon Greek soup! 🤔 I’m a soup person. 😂

Would you post it and have all the ingredients and instructions please? 😋🙏

[Hidden]

We now can roast them first and then remove the skin so we can make soups and pies, cookies, even smoothie 🤔

Good morning my lovely Sis! 😊😻🌺

Pixie sounds adorable, he can go outside by himself wow. 😻 Sonya is indoor cat, she only let out when I’m in the backyard and she got allergy before. 😅

There’s cat food channel? 🤔 pixie sure is spoilt and he deserves it cuz he’s so cute! 😋

You make sure to take your supplements and vitamins as we don’t really get enough at certain age.

Love that you took that combination glucosamine/chrondotine. People kept missing the chrondotine which is a game changer 👍

We are all lacked of Vit D which is very common. I have to take vit D 5000units every day.😅 yes omega 3 too I take. Oh don’t forget collagen, I take some biotin and collagen drops and Vital protein powder collagen for my skin health, bone loss, joint pain. 😁👍

I love your bean sprouts and egg breakfast, I do the same with adding some chives soo good and healthy too. 😋

Wow it’s like 90s everyday over here and you are freezing over there. 🤔

There’s a lot of mosquitoes now here. 🤷‍♀️

Well, I’m getting ready for bed now. You have a good start of the day with Pixie! 😻🤗😘

Go for soup, so easy to eat and feel light after.

3 am Coconut juice is like on a vacation trip to me. 😄 When I travel I love drinking fresh coconut juice by the beach. 🥥🌴🏖⛱

[Hidden]

Wow sounds so much fun to me with your magical garden. Forget veg market! 😁👍

Okay I watched the YouTube Greek lemon egg soup, do you add pastas into it and chives? It does look yummy and something I can make to try it out. 😋

[Kainan]

Good stuff Koko! Very refreshing! And thinking outside the box by using pumpkin. 👍

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Awee Kainan you gave me too much credit! 🤗🙏Have u tried steam pumpkins with short spareribs? It is a dim sum dish I had before very good. 😋

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

Yea that dish is amazing!

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Yes I think out of all Chinese restaurants, I like Dim sum most like a variety of many goodies of delicious buffet. 😋👍

[ZazenRiver345]

Your soup looks delightful 👌😁. Looks like you got a good workout in while you prepared the pumpkin too😄💪. Another nutrient dense balanced meal👍. Enjoy your day🙏😊.

[Hidden in reply to ZazenRiver345]

Thank you very much Zazen for saying that! 🤗🙏This is something you can easily make for yourself. Hope you managed your lunch today and have a fun July 4th weekend! 😁👍

[Hidden]

The video I watched she added pasta and chicken breasts but that’s okay maybe that’s her style. But I do love how the soup looks like. I’ll try to make it sometimes. 😋👍
