Spiced Pumpkin Soup
A mixture of spices, coconut milk, and banana add complexity and flavour to this soup.
Ingredients
Before you start
A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175°C/375°F.
- Put the pumpkin, whole, on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 h until soft. Let it cool down, remove the seeds, carve out the pulp and dice it into 1,5 cm cubes. Take the required quantity and put the rest in the refrigerator or in the freezer for future use in another recipe.
- Finely chop the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, then add the chopped vegetables. Sauté until soft, about 8 min. Add the clove and bay leaf, then the banana and cook an additional 2 min. Stir in the pumpkin cubes, broth, coconut milk, cumin, curry, cinnamon, turmeric, and ground nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and cook over medium heat about 15 min to blend the flavours.
- Cool slightly, discard the bay leaf and the clove, then purée the soup in a blender. Adjust the seasoning and add more broth if the soup is too thick.
- Ladle soup into serving bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves then serve.
Remarks
The soup keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 4 months in the freezer.
