💡 Sunflower Soup Secrets That Will Make You a Kitchen Hero
For extra creaminess, blend a few paneer cubes with the pumpkin before adding. Roast the sunflower seeds lightly before frying for a nutty aroma. If you prefer thicker soup, reduce water or add a splash of cream. Spice lovers can increase chilli flakes, while mild eaters can skip them. Garnish with herbs or a swirl of butter for a restaurant-style touch. Always serve hot for the best cozy experience.
