- 1 small fresh ginger

Recipe for healthy hokkaido soup
1. Wash the hokkaido pumpkin properly, peel and cut into quarters. Remove the seeds from the quarters and cut the cleaned marigolds into small cubes (about 2-4 cm, depending on their hardness).
Some people don't peel the pumpkin because, according to some sources, it contains the most vitamins. So if you don't want to, don't peel the pumpkin and cook with it.
You don't have to throw the seeds away. You can salt them and bake them to make roasted pumpkin seeds.
2. Clean and chop the carrots too. And put both ingredients together in salted water to boil.
3. Add also the cleaned whole garlic cloves. Put the allspice and bay leaf in a cooking bag and put them in the water.
If you don't have such bags, you will have to fish out the spices, so remember how much you put in.
4. Boil together for about half an hour, until the carrots and pumpkin are soft.
5. When the ingredients are soft, remove the bay leaf and allspice and blend everything together with the water. Return the thoroughly blended mixture to the fire.
6. Prepare a mixture of coconut milk and cream, some grated ginger, very finely grated nutmeg and a little turmeric. Whisk everything together and add to the soup.
7. Simmer briefly, and when the soup starts to bubble, add half or all of the orange juice to taste.
Also add a little grated orange zest, which adds aroma and flavour to the soup.
8. The soup is ready when all the ingredients have been mixed and simmered briefly.
The soup is best served with toasted pumpkin, sunflower or flax seeds, which are just lightly sprinkled on top. You can also toast them all together.
Enjoy!
