Pumpkin & Clementine Soup

Soup prepared with pumpkin chunks and blended along with clementine juice & low fat cream, this soup tastes little bit sour but the mild sweetness of the pumpkin suits prefectly along with the sourness of this clementines, usually clementines tastes too sweet, but this time the clementines which i bought from my farmer's market, tastes really too sour and they were completely inconsumable..I was planning to make out soup with those sour clementines and pumpkins both this unique mariage between pumpkin and clementines works out marvellous, we enjoyed having this mild orange colour soup for our dinner.A clementine is the hesperidium of a variety of mandarin orange.The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines separate easily into seven to fourteen juicy segments. They are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but are almost always seedless. Clementines are also known as seedless tangerines...Purchased fresh, they should be a shiny, bright orange color. The fruit should be firm, yet give a slight indentation when squeezed.t's a great nutritional source of Vitamin C, fiber, folate, and potassium....Imported from Spain, this delicious fruit is now available from November to March...This soup is going directly to Nithu's Think Beyond The Usual-Fruits...
