Pumpkin Soup Recipe For Spare Halloween Pumpkins

4th Nov 2019

As Haloween is behind us, you may need to find a way to use up some of the pumpkins you have left! 
This month we are going to make a beautiful pumpkin soup! All you need is: 

  •  2 tbsp. Olive Oil 2 Onions
  • 1kg Pumpkin
  •  700ml Vegetable or Chicken Stock
  • 150ml Double Cream
  • Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently cook 2 finely chopped onions for 5 mins, until soft but not coloured.
  • Add 1kg pumpkin or squash, cut into chunks, to the pan, then carry on cooking for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften and turn golden.
  • Pour 700ml vegetable or chicken stock into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the squash is very soft.
  • Pour 150ml double cream into the pan, bring back to the boil, then purée with a hand blender. For an extra-velvety consistency, you can pour the soup through a fine sieve.
  • Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the bread until it starts to become crisp.
  • Add a handful of pumpkin seeds to the pan, then cook for a
    few mins more until
    they are toasted.
  • Reheat the soup if needed, taste for seasoning, then serve scattered with croutons and seeds. Drizzle with more olive oil if you fancy.
