Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 400 g pumpkin cubed
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 garlic clove crushed
  • 600 ml vegetable stock
  • 100 ml light coconut milk
  • 1 Pinch cumin
  • 1 red chilli (to taste)
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add 1 tablespoon Olive oil to a pan and then add 400 g Pumpkin, 3 Garlic clove and 1 Onion. Gently cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute.
  2. Add 600 ml Vegetable stock, 100 ml Light coconut milk, 1 Pinch Cumin, 1 Red chilli and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until the pumpkin has softened.
  3. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth.

Notes

  • Don't skip on the shallots and garlic, as it helped to make the pumpkin more savory as it is quite sweet otherwise.
  • You can flavor this soup with Mexican, Thai or Indian flavors.
  • Use a hand blender to blend this soup. If you are going to put it in a jug blender, make sure it has cooled first, as it could lead to it exploding.
  • Don't waste the pumpkin seeds, as they can be roasted for a delicious snack.
  • You could use pumpkin puree instead of fresh, but it won't taste as nice.
