The Incredible Health Benefits of Pumpkin and Pumpkin Soup!

August 22, 2017 by Adam Kemp 7 Comments

The Incredible Health Benefits of Pumpkin and Pumpkin Soup!

Pumpkin is known to be one of the healthiest type of foods in the world, even though few people understand any of its incredible benefits! The benefits of pumpkin include making weight loss easier, improving your eye sight and eye health, reducing your risk of cancer, and much more!

This is one of the healthiest foods in the world due the fact that it contains an assortment of nutrients which are vital for your body.

Pumpkin can be eaten in its natural form, or it can be made into a soup amongst other options.

This makes it paramount to know a few of the easiest ways to make pumpkin soup!

Eating pumpkin pie might not be the healthiest way to get your daily intake of pumpkin in, but the benefits of pumpkin are so strong that even a dessert pie can be beneficial for you health!

If you want to really enjoy all of these amazing benefits though, pumpkin soup is clearly one of the best ways! Luckily for you, we have some easy recipes for you to follow!

Keep reading to check out some delicious ways to incorporate pumpkin in to your diet!

Note: if you don’t want to make your own, you can easily buy pumpkin soup from Amazon and still get most of the benefits you are looking for!

Pumpkin Soup #1

This particularly simple method of making pumpkin soup is meant to make eight cups of the soup.

The ingredients needed are:

  • 1 medium onion (which is grated)
  • 2 table spoons of olive oil
  • 1 can of pure pumpkin
  • 2 cans of chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 of a teaspoon salt

Once you have all of those ingredients, just use these simple steps to make your own pumpkin soup!

  1. The first step is to heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium high heat, and then add the onion.
  2. Next, cook while stirring for about three minutes, before stirring in the pure  pumpkin, cream, chicken broth, pumpkin spice and the salt.
  3. Proceed to cooking for three more minutes until the soup simmers.
  4. The soup is then ready to be served! In case there are leftovers, store in an air tight container.

Pumpkin Soup #2

  1. Another simple method is to start by heating the olive oil  in a large saucepan, and then gently cook the onions for about five minutes.
  2. Next, you should add the pumpkin and cook for about ten minutes while stirring  gently.
  3. Stock should then be added to the pan together with salt and pepper.
  4. Double cream is then added to the pan, and brought to boil.
  5. Finally, you should use a hand blender and the soup can be poured through fine sleeves to make it more consistent. This soup is ready to be served, but can be frozen for up to two  months even!

Here Are Some of The Health Benefits of Pumpkin Soup:

Pumpkin Helps with Sharper Eyesight

Just a single cup of pumpkin soup contains more than 200 percent of the recommended intake of Vitamin A.!This particular vitamin is known to be effective in aiding vision, especially while in places with dim lights.

Pumpkin soup is rich in carotenoid, which is the compound that gives the gourd their orange color.

There is also beta-carotene, which is usually converted by the body into Vitamin A.

Eating pumpkin seeds, or pumpkin soup such as in the recipes above is an excellent way to get these vital nutrients in to your body.  Your eyes will certainly thank you!

Pumpkin Helps with Weight Loss

Pumpkin soup is usually rich in fiber, but has almost no calories. Fiber is very helpful when it comes to aiding proper digestion, where the different nutrients are broken down easily.

This enables the body to work more efficiently, and as a result burn fat faster.

The fact that pumpkin has low volumes of calories also plays a significant role, because it helps to ensure that  people who use the soup do not get unwanted fat in their body from excess calories.

If you are trying to lose weight but don’t want to walk around hungry all day, try eating a couple bowls of pumpkin soup!  You can also make mashed pumpkin (like mashed potatoes), but just make sure not to add too much butter or milk.

Regardless, the fiber is one of the best benefits of pumpkin and can absolutely help you lose weight quickly!

Pumpkin Enhances Health of the Heart

Pumpkin oil contains a plant based substance known as phytosterol. According to various studies, this substance reduces LDL (which is also known as bad cholesterol).

Reducing LDL plays a major role in enhancing the performance and health of the heart.

When bad cholesterol accumulates in the body, it moves in to the heart and can hinder its overall performance.

Someone regularly using pumpkin soup does not experience this problem, since they are naturally working to lower their levels of cholesterol daily.

Along with reducing general cholesterol, losing weight is one of the easiest ways to improve the condition of your heart.  If you have issues with obesity, or simply have a few too many extra pounds, this can be detrimental to your heart.

Drop the pounds by adding more pumpkin in your diet, and your heart will be much healthier!

The Health Benefits of Pumpkin Reduce Cancer Risk

Beta-carotene is one of the most effective antioxidants in the world, and pumpkin contains very high amounts of this nutrient!

Studies have shown that this substance can help in reducing risks of different types of cancer.

These studies have shown that this substance is more effective than most of the  supplements that are used with an objective of reducing chances of being  affected by cancer, proving that natural foods are more effective than modern medicine in many ways,

Skin Protection Benefits of Pumpkin

Another incredible benefit of eating this amazing food is that it has been proven by professionals that the carotenoids found in pumpkin help with keeping the skin healthy.

These components ensure that the skin is provided with the necessary nutrients, and as a result remains healthy for longer than it naturally would.

This plays a key role in reducing some major skin related issues, such as developing wrinkles.

Boost Your Immune System By Eating More Pumpkin!

Pumpkin soup is usually rich in Vitamin C, which is one of the main vitamins that is known to boost the immune system.

One cup of pumpkin soup contains about twenty percent of the amount that is required daily!

By eating just a few cups of pumpkin soup on a regular basis, your immune  system will be significantly boosted.

In fact, this is one of the most important health benefits of pumpkin soup, because it prevents the body from being attacked by various opportunistic conditions.

Using supplements such as Emergen-C are great when necessary, but taking a more holistic approach to your immune system will have much better long-term effects.

Concluding Thoughts on the Benefits of Pumpkin and Pumpkin Soup

You might not have known about it at all before, but you are not likely to find as many nutritional benefits in any other food as you can find in a pumpkin.

Adding just a couple bowls of pumpkin soup to your diet each week can make a much bigger impact on your health that you could ever have imagined!

What is even more great is that you don’t always have to make it yourself! Just buy the soup from Amazon, and you will be having it in just a couple of days!

  • A couple days ago @anna_targoniy and I took the time to head to the Mercouri Estate Winery, ~30 minutes from where I’m living. The owner of the estate (whose great-grandfather originally founded the current winery) was so friendly to us on our trip there! This winery was founded back in 1864, although grapes have grown in this region for much longer than that. They have a truly beautiful winery overlooking the Ionian Sea, and I am really happy I took the time to check it out!

  • Temple of Apollo Epikourios at Bassae, Greece. 
Wow! This place was enormous.. Today was the last of a 3-day break we have, and we picked a perfect place to visit! It was nice to learn some history of the Greek god Apollo as well.
Seeing as it’s Earth Day, I had to share one photo we took while driving to the temple. The picture doesn’t do it justice, but I had to try!

  • Today we visited the Temple of Apollo Epikourios. It took us ~2 hours to drive up through the mountains to get to the temple, but the ride was beautiful! Unfortunately, we hit some traffic on the way back down the mountain! hahaha

  • Ancient Elis, Greece.
In Greek Antiquity this was one of the largest cities in Greece. Although the Ancient city is just ruins now, you can still feel the aura every step! One of the biggest contributions of this ancient city was that the Olympic Games were “planned” here, and athletes from across the world gathered here before the original Olympic Games were officially hosted in Olympia. •

  • Katakolon, Greece. 
The town itself you can pretty much see in its entirety on my 2nd photo. @Anna_Targoniy and I spent about an hour just sitting by the sea, and watching the water and the people fishing off the docks. There are some great wine/olive tours here that we didn’t do, but it was still an amazing place to see!
