2-course dinner :)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wanted to call the soup ‘cream of pumpkin’ but I didn’t use any cream….so ya, just pumpkin soup will do.<\/p>\n

I was in the mood to prepare new dishes for Hannah during the post National Day holiday. It should be something healthy of course. After browsing\u00a0my favourite\u00a0food blogs for ideas,\u00a0I\u00a0decided to\u00a0use\u00a0my pumpkin soup recipe for adults\u00a0(blogged about it here<\/a>) to prepare Hannah’s dinner.\u00a0The only\u00a0modification I made to the original recipe was replacing canned chicken broth with home-made one. I bought pumpkin from NTUC (there was only one variety available) and they turned out to be pleasantly sweet.\u00a0*whew* In fact,\u00a0 the sweetness of the pumpkin was so good that no salt was required to season the soup further (BTW, the home-made chicken broth doesn’t contain salt). The pumpkin soup also has that umami factor thanks to the flavourful chicken broth.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0the soup was rich in carbohydrates (sugary pumpkin and starchy potato), I didn’t include rice for her dinner. Rather, I decided to add fish (protein) to make it a balanced meal. We had excess threadfin in the freezer and hence I decided to pan-fry a slice and drizzle it with soy sauce flavoured with ginger slivers and spring onions.<\/p>\n

Verdict? Hannah ate up the fish quickly but drank only half of the pumpkin soup. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
