The Whole Pumpkin Soup - Moroccan Style

Pumpkin soup is an easy soup to make, but we tend to throw out a lot of the flavour and goodness in preparing the pumpkin for cooking. In this recipe the whole pumpkin is used (ok, except the stem), which adds more flavour and nutrients to what is already a favourite soup for many families.

Ingredients

• 1 kg Pumpkin, diced with skin and seeds
• 3 Tbsp Mrs Rogers Moroccan Seasoning
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 large Onion, cut into quarters
• 1.5 L Vegetable Stock
• 1 can Coconut Milk
• A grind of Mrs Rogers Himalayan Pink Salt Medium Grinder
• A grind of Mrs Rogers Gourmet Peppercorns Medium Grinder
• Mrs Rogers Baking Paper (for lining tray)
• Coconut Cream, for drizzling

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place the diced pumpkin and onion on a lined baking tray and drizzle lightly with oil and grind a little salt over the pieces. Bake for 20 minutes.
2. Once the pumpkin has finished roasting, place a large pot on the stove and add the oil and gently fry the Moroccan seasoning.
3. Add the vegetable stock, coconut milk and the pumpkin and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on.
4. Once the pumpkin is completely cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Using a food processor, blitz the soup into a puree. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a drizzle of cream.
