Gold Soup image

Gold vegetable soup with red lentils added. I use butternut pumpkin, kumera and carrots. You can use any amounts of veges to your preference or whatever you have. The addition of carrots gives this soup a natural sweetness. A very easy soup to make with added protein. Nobody would guess that there are lentils in this soup-they just cook down and help to thicken the soup. To make this soup gluten free-ensure the stock used is labeled as GF. I use Massell brand as it is gluten free, lactose free and vegetarian. You really just cant go wrong making this soup-it's very easy to make. This does make a thick soup- so add some extra stock or water if you like a thinner style soup- add to your liking.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 liter vegetable stock
1 1/2 kg butternut pumpkin, weighed before preparing (can use pumpkin of choice such as jap or kent varieties)
500 g kumara (gold sweet potato)
350 g carrots
1 onion
3 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
1 1/4 cups red lentils, washed
3 cups water, may need to add a little extra
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic (optional)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Add the stock to a large cooking pot or boiler. Everything will be added to the pot as it is chopped/prepared.
  • Cut pumpkin and kumera into chunks, no bigger than 2 inches square, removing any skin and seeds. Add to the pot.
  • Peel and chop carrots and onion. Add to the pot.
  • Wash and drain the lentils. Add to the pot.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and some extra water if the veggies are not covered. You may need to add some more water or stock during the cooking- so just keep your eye on it. If there is not enough liquid the soup may stick to the bottom of your pot. (maybe not such a bad thing if you catch it in time. Once when I made this soup it had stuck to the bottom and tasted like it had roasted pumpkin in it).
  • Bring to the boil, Boil for approx 30 minutes, or until the largest veggie pieces are soft when poked with a knife. Stir occasionally to ensure the lentils do not burn onto the bottom of the pot.
  • Remove from heat and purée with either a stick blender used in the pot or by using a food processor. To make the soup thinner, just add some extra water or stock.
  • Serve with a little sour cream and maybe a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes and carrots. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

I didn't have any cumin, so I used curry powder instead. The soup was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I used grapefruit juice instead. The soup was still delicious, but it had a slightly different flavor.

I made this soup with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious. This is a great soup for vegetarians and vegans.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I like to add some shredded chicken or turkey to the soup for a protein boost.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a bit of chopped bacon for a smoky flavor.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made a big batch on the weekend and then I had lunch for the whole week.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is a great way to sneak some vegetables into your kids. My kids loved the sweet flavor of the soup and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

This soup is so comforting and delicious. I love the creamy texture and the pop of flavor from the oranges. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet soups, but this one was really good. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes and oranges was balanced out by the savory flavors of the ginger and cumin. I would definitely make this soup again.
