Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 g Pumpkin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Red chilli flakes
- 750 ml Vegetable stock
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp Fresh coriander
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Chop the pumpkin into large chunks, removing the seeds and skin. Place the pumpkin chunks on a baking tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
While the pumpkin is roasting, chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin and red chilli flakes, cooking for another minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.
Once the pumpkin is roasted, add it to the pot along with the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth before returning it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat the soup gently until warmed through, but do not let it boil.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with roasted pumpkin seeds and freshly chopped coriander. Serve hot and enjoy!
