Pumpkin soup
An easy, rich, & creamy soup. A lovely way to heat yourself up after a day out in the cold. Best served with a slice of warm crusty bread!
Ingredients
- 1.6 kg pumpkin
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 250 ml water
- 185 ml cream
Instructions
- Cut off the pumpkin skin and scrape out the seeds ( save these – season and roast them in the oven for a tasty snack or soup topping!)
- Chop the pumpkin in to roughly 3cm slices
- Slice the onion and peel the garlic
- Place the onion, pumpkin, garlic, stock and water in a pot (The liquid will not cover all of the pot contents, but don't worry)
- Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat and let simmer rapidly until pumpkin is tender
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Blend with either a liquidiser or stick blender until smooth
- Stir through the cream
- Season with salt & pepper to taste – enjoy!
