Pumpkin Soup

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Peel butternut pumpkin and cut into 5cm cubes.
  • Toss with 1 tbs olive oil and put on tray and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Whilst pumpkin is baking, cut up onion and saute with 1 tbs olive oil in a large stock pot.
  • Add cooked pumpkin to the onion and add the chicken stock/broth and coriander. Bring to a gentle simmer and leave simmering for 10 - 20 minutes. Then turn off and blend the soup with a stick blender.
  • Salt the soup according to your taste. I used approximately 1.5 tsp. (It depends on whether there is salt in your broth)

Garlic Greek Yoghurt

  • Stir a tbsp of garlic greek yoghurt through our bowl of soup and enjoy!
