CREAMY PUMPKIN GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
• Place the pumpkin and thyme on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine and arrange in a single layer.
• Roast for 60 to 65 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pumpkin is fork-tender.
• Let cool, and then remove the peel from the pumpkin.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin and ginger along with the broth and sage.
• Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, and then remove from heat.
• Puree using an immersion blender until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt and blend.
• Pour into 4 bowls.
• Serve immediately, garnished with chives, plus more yogurt, pepitas, chives, and nutmeg, if desired.

EASY 5-INGREDIENT PUMPKIN SOUP

• Ladle into bowls and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• 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. The soup can now be frozen for up to 2 months.
• To make the croutons: cut 4 slices wholemeal seeded bread into small squares.
• 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. These can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
• Reheat the soup if needed, taste for seasoning, then serve scattered with croutons and seeds and drizzled with more olive oil, if you want.

CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. If the onions begin browning too quickly, turn the heat to low.
• Add the maple syrup and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have darkened in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and cook, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• Add the broth, pumpkin purée, curry powder, nutmeg, cloves, salt and pepper, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook at a full simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching.
• Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender or food processor and return to the pot (or use an immersion blender). Bring back to a simmer over medium heat, then turn off the heat and stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more broth if the soup is too thick.
• To make the optional fried sage topping, melt the butter in a small or medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sage leaves and fry until just crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a fork, transfer the sage leaves to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the butter left behind in the pan.
• To serve, spoon the soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with 2 fried sage leaves and a drizzle of the reserved butter (if using), or a swirl of cream and pinch of nutmeg. Serve hot.
