Pumpkin and chicken soup
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. Here is a simple recipe for pumpkin and chicken soup. First, thoroughly rinse and boil your chicken. While it's cooking, prepare the vegetables. Once the vegetables are ready, blend them into a puree using a blender. Adjust the soup's thickness to your preference by adding more or less chicken broth. Good luck! Serve hot, ladled into bowls.
