 ==== Pumpkin velouté ====
-The inhabitants of the Discipline Scenario eat seasonally, but flavour their food with (home)dried and smoked herbs and spices. Pumpkin is for many of us a symbol of autumn: warm, smooth and sweet, like the early evenings in a (heated) home, listening to the rain and wind are ranging outside, while we're cosily protected by our well-insulated windows. Even if its colour suggests warmth, according to the traditions of Ayurveda pumpkin is a cooling food. We therefore added some spicy smoked paprika powder to increase the soup's heating capacity.
