Pumpkin purée is the star of the show in this soup
My new all time favourite…a rich and creamy soup with a delicious kick of heat softened with a drizzle of natural yogurt. Perfect to warm you up on a cold autumnal afternoon. Serve with a couple of slices of fresh warm bread
Ingredients
1 onion
1 clove garlic - crushed
1 tin tomatoes
1 pre-roasted pumpkin
1/4 cup water
1 tin coconut milk
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground chilli powder
1tsp ground turmeric
Pinch chill flakes (use as much as you like the heat it creates)
Salt and pepper
Optional - natural vegan yogurt, toasted seeds and chilli flakes to top
Method
Fry the onion and garlic on a low heat until the onions are translucent
Add tomatoes, pumpkin puree, water and coconut milk and stir
Place the sauce in the blender and blend until smooth
Pour the sauce into a small pan and add the spices, salt and pepper
Simmer for a few minutes then add enough water until you get the desired soup consistency (I like mine quite thick)
Allow to come to simmer once again
Pan fry a handful of seeds with some sea salt until golden (only if you’d like to top the soup with some crunch)
Divide into soup bowls
Add a spoonful of natural yogurt and stir to get a nice swirl
Add an optional sprinkle of toasted seeds and some more chilli flakes
Serve with a side of fresh bread click here to make your own
