Pumpkin soup ingredients

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 of a whole pumpkin (butternut works best for soups)
  2. 1 tbsp garlic
  3. 1/2 an onion
  4. 1 cup cream or milk (substitute with coconut cream for vegan option)
  5. 1/2 of a handful of pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas)

Recipe

01.

  • Dice the raw pumpkin and half an onion (alternatively you can roast or boil the pumpkin first, but this creates an extra step)
  • Blend the pumpkin chunks and onion, to form a smooth puree
  • Add garlic and pumpkin puree to saucepan and cook for 15 – 20 minutes
  • At the end, add the cream/milk and any spices (e.g. nutmeg, cinnamon, chilli) cook for a few more minutes (the cream doesn’t need to cook for as long as the veggies)

*Note – the puree will splurt when cooking so make sure you cover it with a lid and be careful when lifting off the lid – turn the stove off first. 

Serve with toast or a cheesy toasty and stay warm!
