PUMPKIN & SWEET POTATO (KUMARA) SOUP
This is Pumpkin Soup with the volume turned up. Pumpkin soup can be boring but the addition of Sweet Potato (Kumara), ginger and a touch of curry powder elevate this soup from bland to blissful. I own a Bakery and serve this soup to take out with a bread roll. It walks out the door every time I have it on offer! It's a great winter warmer and kind to the waistline as well. Please try it - you won't be disappointed.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of pumpkin. For this soup, you'll want a pumpkin that is sweet and flavorful, such as a butternut squash or a sugar pumpkin. Avoid using a pie pumpkin, as it is too dry and fibrous.
- Roast the pumpkin before adding it to the soup. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 30 minutes, or until it is tender.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Add some spices to the soup. Spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika add warmth and flavor to the soup. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This adds a creamy richness to the soup and helps to balance out the sweetness of the pumpkin.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin potato soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavor, pumpkin potato soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
