Lazy person's 3 ingredient 3 step and no elbow grease pumpkin soup
-
1 small Jap pumpkin-700g or thereabouts doesn't matter if its larger, you'll end up with more roast pumpkin afterwards
-
150ml coconut milk (the creamy layer at the top of a tin of coconut milk if you don't shake it, is best)
-
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (plus an extra spoonful of chicken or vegetable stock powder)
Step 1 - Roast whole pumpkin in 200c oven for 1 hour or until soft
Step 2 - Remove seeds and peel off the skin, it will come off satisfyingly easy
Step 3 - Add pumpkin, stock and coconut milk into blender and blend away
I added a swirl of flaxseed oil but this is completely optional
Variation: add fresh finely grated ginger
Variation: omit coconut milk and add dollop of sour cream and chives
