PUMPKIN SOUP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (200 degrees C/Gas 6)
- Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds, reserving these for later. Using your pestle and mortar, bash up the coriander and chilli nice and fine and sprinkle over the squash. Drizzle with a little oil and roast in a hot oven until nice and soft.
- Heat a little oil in a large pan and fry the pancetta with half the sage leaves. Add the chestnuts and the onion and fry gently for about 15 minutes. By this time the squash will be ready, so spoon it out into the pan, leaving the skin behind. Cover with the stock and bring to the boil. Remove half the mixture and blend until smooth, then pour back into the pan.
- Take the rest of the sage leaves and the reserved squash seeds and fry them in a little oil until crisp. To serve, spoon a little sour cream on top of the soup, sprinkle with a little of the crisp sage and seeds, and finish with a good drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of pumpkin: Look for sugar pumpkins, also known as pie pumpkins, or butternut squash, as they have a sweeter flavor and are perfect for soups.
- Roast the pumpkin before adding it to the soup: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and gives the soup a richer color.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth or stock: This will add depth and flavor to the soup. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs: Cumin, coriander, ginger, and thyme all pair well with pumpkin. You can also add a splash of cream or coconut milk for a richer flavor.
- Garnish the soup with something special: A drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds, or a dollop of sour cream can all add a touch of elegance to your soup.
