Curried Pumpkin Soup

This is a great winter warmer; it's so quick to make and very comforting on a cold day. Make it as spicy as you prefer by using different spice blends to roast your pumpkin.

Low Carb Curried Pumpkin Soup

Serves 3

Ingredients

  • 500g pumpkin, cubed (NOT butternut squash)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (high heat or light, not virgin)
  • about 3 Tbsp spices of choice, such as a garam massala, ground ginger, curry powder etc
  • 1/2 can coconut cream
  • 1 cup good quality chicken stock (or veggie stock for a vegetarian friendly soup
  • salt to taste

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180'C (or use a small roaster inside an airfryer)
  2. Toss the cubed pumpkin in the oil and then the spice blend. I like a bit of ginger and a lot of a fairly spicy curry blend. You can also use Thai yellow curry paste, beaten with the oil to loosen
  3. Roast the pumpkin for 20-30 minutes until well browned and very soft
  4. In a liquidizer (or a bowl big enough to use an emergion blender without splashing) combine the roast pumpkin, coconut cream and stock until completely smooth
  5. Taste the soup and add salt as needed
  6. Serve on its own for lunch or with your favourite low carb cheese scone or bread roll for dinner.
