I have to admit to making the nicest pumpkin soup I have ever had yesterday so I thought I’d share the recipe which as always I just made up!
Lightly fry an onion in olive oil.
Add about 4 cups of scooped out pumpkin.
Add 3 chopped carrots.
Add a pint veg stock, maybe a bit more if you need more liquid as cooking.
Add some coriander, black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Half a cup of red lentils.
If able, throw in a tablespoon or two of flax seeds or sesame seeds (or half of each).
Simmer for 40 minutes.
Blend.
I was planning on adding some soya milk at the end but it was gorgeous without so I didn’t bother.
We ate the lot and Heidi, my fussy 4 year old, said it was really, really nice.
I also made pumpkin and ginger scones which were to die for, but I’ll post that another time!
Have a good day.
