CUMIN PUMPKIN SOUP

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together pumpkin, broth, milk, and cumin. Add bay leaves and set pan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, remove bay leaves and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Garnish with sage, popcorn and pumpkin seeds before serving.

SPICY ROAST PUMPKIN

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200 C or 400°F.
• Quarter and then carefully peel and seed the pumpkin.
• Cut into chunky 2" cubes.
• Place pumpkin into a large & sturdy roasting tray.
• Add the olive oil, salt, pepper & cumin - mix well, making sure that all the pumpkin pieces are coated in olive oil.
• Bake in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft & also tinged brown at the edges.
• Serve with a main meal as the vegetable dish OR freeze for future savoury pumpkin recipes. I also make soup from this - as well as pasta dishes too - recipes to be posted for those!

SPICY COCONUT PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin, stir well, and cook, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Add the onion, garlic, and ají dulce and stir well. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, 3 to 5 minutes, then add the brown sugar and cumin. Mix well. Cook until the sugar melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the pumpkin is very soft, about 15 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup into a smooth purée. Alternatively, remove the solids with a slotted spoon and place in a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth and return to the pan.
• Bring back to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes so the flavors combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with the cilantro.

TANGY PUMPKIN SOUP WITH GREEN CHILI SWIRL

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, puree the green chilies and sour cream until well blended. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, and water. Season with chili powder, garlic powder and hot pepper sauce. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sour cream mixture.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Pour into serving bowls, and spoon a dollop of the sour cream mixture on top. Run a knife or the tip of a spoon through the dollop to swirl.

PUMPKIN CHIPOTLE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until the flour has turned golden brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk in the pumpkin puree until no lumps remain, then add the chipotle peppers, half-and-half cream, sofrito, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and paprika. Return to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 8 minutes until thickened and hot.

PUMPKIN, CUMIN AND CHILLI SOUP

Steps:

• Slice the top off the pumpkin and set it aside.
• Later it will be the lid for your pumpkin-pot serving bowl.
• Use your hands to pull out all the strings and seeds in the centre of the pumpkin.
• You can, if you like, save the seeds for roasting.
• Now use a spoon to scoop out as much of the flesh as you can, but be careful not to break through the shell of the pumpkin.
• Remember, you want to use it as a bowl afterwards.
• Roughly chop the pumpkin flesh and then heat the oil or butter in a big pot.
• Throw in the cumin seeds and onion, frying and stirring occasionally until the onion becomes translucent.
• Add the chilli and sugar and stir well, then throw in the hot stock and pumpkin flesh.
• Simmer until the pumpkin is soft enough to purée.
• Add salt to taste and then blitz until smooth.
• Add the cream, if desired, and pour into the pumpkin shell.
• Make patterns on the surface by drizzling over the oil.
• Serve immediately.

CHILI-FLAVORED PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onions and leeks and saute over low heat until they are tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and the jalapeno pepper.
• Stir in the chili powder and cook briefly, then add the pumpkin and water. Cover and simmer until the pumpkin is very tender, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool briefly, then puree the mixture in a food processor. You will probably have to do this in two batches.
• Return the puree to the saucepan, add the milk or half-and-half and salt to taste. Serve with a sprinkling of coriander on each serving.

SPICY PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds with a spoon (see tip below). Cut into wedges or chunks (keep the skin on) and tip into a bowl. Put the garam masala, and 1 tsp each of the coriander and cumin into a small bowl and mix with 2 tbsp of the oil and season. Drizzle over the pumpkin and toss well to coat in the spiced oil. Transfer to a baking tray, spread out evenly and roast for 40-45 mins, turning halfway through cooking, until the pumpkin is very soft when pierced with a fork. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until soft. Add the ginger, garlic and remaining spices and chilli flakes, and fry for a few more minutes until fragrant. Pour in the stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
• When the pumpkin is cool enough to touch, use a spoon to scoop the soft flesh from the skins. Add the soft pumpkin to the stock pan, discarding the skins. Remove from the heat and blitz the soup with a hand blender until creamy and smooth. Season to taste, adding extra chilli or garam masala if you like. Put back over a low heat and stir in the cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, then serve in bowls with a drizzle more cream and a pinch of chilli to serve. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds, if you like.
