Perfect Pumpkin Soup
It’s that time of year, the crunching of leaves under your feet, conker picking and autumnal attire, perhaps even a carved pumpkin or two. But what about a deliciously warming bowl of pumpkin soup, whilst watching a film in your pj’s. Well, we’ve got just the recipe for you.
Pumpkin Soup Ingredients
- 1kg Pumpkin
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1 white onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 large potato
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp grated nutmeg
- 100ml single cream
- 2 x Love StruckChicken Bone Broth pods
- 1 litre water
- 100g gruyère cheese
Pumpkin Soup Recipe
Roasting the pumpkin gives it colour, flavour, and delicious caramelised edges, totally worth it, so preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C), peel, scoop out the seeds and dice. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss and put in the oven to roast for an hour, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion, garlic and potato and pop into a pan with a little olive oil on a medium heat- add the garlic once the potato is cooked through so it doesn’t burn and cook for an extra 5 minutes. Add the ground coriander and nutmeg and cook for 1 minute before adding the roast pumpkin, followed by the water and chicken bone broth pods. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Blend with a stick blender, or leave to cool slightly and blend in batches in your blender- add back to the pan, stir in the cream and season to taste. Chop the gruyere into small cubes, reheat the soup gently if required and ladle into bowls, scattering a small amount of cheese over the top.
Finishing touch options
- Drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil
- Or some extra cream
- Deseed and finely chop some red chilli and sprinkle for a warm kick
- Serve with a slice of your favourite bread for dunking
ENJOY!
