- Now add your paprika and stir that into the mixture.
- Stir around and then add hot water or stock - enough to cover your ingredients.
- Stir around and increase the heat to bring your water to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer for around 30 minutes, until your ingredients have softened.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat and allow to cool a little.
- As soon as you remove your soup from the heat, add your garam masala spice blend and stir that in.
- Meanwhile, fry your sage leaves in hot olive oil for a minute. place onto a paper towel to soak up excess oil.
- Blend your pumpkin soup until smooth and then serve with your crispy sage leaves and chilli flakes sprinkled on top if required.
- If you had any pumpkin seeds, you can also sprinkle some of those over the top if you like.
Notes
- It is fine to just add water to your pumpkin soup but vegetable or chicken stock will be extra tasty.
- Butternut squash makes a good substitute for your pumpkin soup if you can't get pumpkin.
