Soups
This is an all-shades-of-orange soup, full of vitamins and fiber. It’s also a great source of antioxidants and minerals that reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
I grew up hearing that carrots are good for your eyes. It is true that carrots have a lot of health benefits. Several experiments have shown that beta-carotene and antioxidants, both present in carrots, have either prevented or cured diseases. The benefits of eyesight are less obvious. Unless a person has an existing severe Vitamin A deficiency, eating carrots will not likely have a positive impact on vision. Sorry to dash your hopes, carrot eaters!
Fall is here; the leaves are changing colors, the sky is deep blue, and the temperatures are dropping. I think a nice hot soup for supper will be more than welcome during cold days.
Potimarron, or Red kuri squash, is a hard-shelled winter squash variety with firm orange flesh. It belongs to the Cucurbita maxim group. The flesh provides a very delicate and mellow chestnut-like flavor (marron means chestnut in French).
