Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Soup

Here’s a winter warmer for you…

Serves 2-3.

Ingredients​

Pumpkin (or squash) 

Onion

2 Potatoes

3 Carrots

Vegetable stock cube

Pinch of salt (or soy sauce)

Tsp. cumin

½ Tsp. garam masala

Pinch of chopped chili

Tsp. chopped ginger

Tsp. cinnamon

½ Tsp coriander (or use fresh)

½ Tsp. Pepper (or to taste)

2 Tbsp. coconut milk

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Enough water to cover

Method 

1. Chop the onion and, in a large pan on a medium heat, fry it in oil.

2. Chop up the potatoes, carrots and pumpkin. (Avoid using seeds and skin of pumpkin, just use flesh and pulp.)

3. Add to the pan and pour in enough boiling water to only just cover the contents.

4. Add all the herbs, spices and a stock cube.

5. Bring to a boil and leave to simmer. Turn off when potatoes are soft enough to stick knife in.

6. Using a hand blender, purée everything until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

7. Either stir coconut milk in now or have fun trying to make perfect swirls on each bowl of soup.

8. Serve with bread.

 Top tip: Freeze any extra to heat up when you return from a long day of lectures.
