Cozy up with a comforting vegetarian pumpkin soup.
Ingredients:
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, roughly chopped
  • 1020.00 gm chicken style liquid stock (see notes)
  • 400g can brown lentils, drained, rinsed
  • Naan bread, toasted, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic; cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in cumin and coriander and cook for 1 minute. Add pumpkin and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the flavorful stock and add the hearty lentils. Stir well to combine and cover the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, making sure to stir occasionally. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer partially covered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender.
  • Blend soup into a velvety texture, then season with salt and pepper before enjoying alongside crispy toasted naan bread.
