Low fat version of this pumpkin soup is delicious and nutritious. Serve with warm garlic bread.  The  touch of cinnamon and coriander  is the light for this soup. The story behind the tree you see in  the photograph - I was sitting  in the balcony  drinking my soup, with the tress  swaying and was wondering how can I photograph this soup. Ola, the swaying trees, sparked my idea!

    Thank you every one.
    The tree has a story. The photo was taken on a cold gloomy day with just enough natural light. When I was drinking this soup, I was in the balcony, looking at some trees swaying with the wind. That’s when I immediately got up, took a bowl of soup, placed it on my coffee table, made a tree of coriander leaves and cinnamon stick - the ingredients added to the soup. I was trying hard to get the shadow of the tree as well. But with minimum natural light conditions, i managed to capture what I had in mind.
