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. Try this Whole Damn Pumpkin Soup recipe and see what you think, we think you just may be surprised at your upcycle recipe efforts.
Heat your oven to 180°C. Place the diced pumpkin and onion on a baking tray and grind a little salt over the pieces. Bake for 20 minutes.
While the pumpkin is roasting, in a large pot add the oil. Fry, on a medium heat, the chilli flakes until fragrant. Add the peanut butter, vegetable stock, coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, garlic powder and the pumpkin and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on.
Once the pumpkin is completely cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Using a food processor, blitz the soup into a puree. Return to the pot and bring back to temperature. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a drizzle of coconut cream.
