Autumnal Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

  • 15 g fresh root ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 800 g of pumpkin peeled and cut into chunks
  • 25 g Flora butter
  • 1 Knorr vegetable stock pot dissolved in 750 ml boiling water
  • 1 or 2 tbsp of runny honey
  • 100 ml natural yogurt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander chopped
  • 4 slices of bread
  • Bat shaped food cutters
  • A sprinkling of novelty spiders

Method:

  • Grate the ginger, crush the garlic cloves, chop the onion and pumpkin.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook veg on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until soft but not brown.
  • Add the ginger, honey and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.
  • Stir in most of the plain yoghurt and place in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

 

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pop bread in the toaster and cut out in ‘bat style’ to add a spooky garnish to finished dish.
  • To create the cobwebs, slowly pour the natural yogurt in round motions on top of the soup. Once you’ve done this, use a spoon to slowly pull the yogurt into points, creating the cobweb shape.
  • To finish – simply serve with a spooky side helping of spiders!
