Its #halloween so of course time for some hearty #pumpkin #soup!
This is the most cheesy (#vegan), creamy, smooth & delicious veloute #pumpkinsoup topped with toasted sunflower seeds & parsley.
If you're having it as a main meal instead of a snack - make sure you add a good quality protein source to go alongside it and of course a dark green leafy veg salad for optimum digestion and fibre.
