University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> student Lauren Horita<\/strong> submitted her nana\u2019s pumpkin soup recipe.<\/p>\n

“Pumpkin soup has now become a hallmark of the holiday season, as fall comes and it starts to get colder with the winter months,” she said. “In Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> we\u2019re blessed to have beautiful neutral weather in the winter. This soup is delicious, prepared warm on a cold and windy night, or refreshing when the sun is beaming with its warmth throughout the day.”<\/p>\n

Horita\u2019s favorite recipes are ones that are customizable.<\/p>\n

“This pumpkin soup can be a base to where you want to start, and you can add all your favorites in,” she said. “For instance, sometimes we\u2019ll make it with navy beans but sometimes we’ll add in steamed Okinawan sweet potato, depending on what we have in the house.”<\/p>\n
