Easy Pumpkin Soup!


Flavoured with chilli, fresh coriander and coconut, this soup is delicious!  I first tasted it at a Halloween Party and asked our host for her recipe. I reduce the amount of chilli when making it for the kids and it also works without coriander, too.

Ingredients
1 large pumpkin
20g butter
500 ml water
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 medium chilli chopped
1 can of coconut milk or cream
Lots of coriander leaves, chopped
Salt and pepper to season

Method
  • Cup pumpkin into small chunks. Pop butter into a large pan and add the pumpkin.  Cook for 5-10 minutes.  Add the water and simmer until pumpkin is soft.
  • Drain the water off and save for later.
  • Meanwhile, add chilli, garlic, half the coriander, salt and pepper into blender and whizz until smooth.
  • Add the pumpkin and blend.
  • Reheat and add coconut milk.  If the soup is too thick add some of the reserved water and simmer a little longer. 
  • Serve with coriander to garnish.

Enjoy :)

  2. Thanks for reading my blog, Hannah. My pumpkins were poor this year, but perfect for making some soup! This recipe is great for a cold day and it freezes well, too. :)xx
