Pumpkin soup is another classic. You can't really fail with this. It's low-in fat, delicious, creamy and it fills you up. The first time i tasted the soup was college. It was late and that was the only item they have left in the cafeteria. I was skeptical at first. I mean, how good can pumpkin taste right?
At first taste, I was.... surprised. Creamy and smooth... mmmm.. OK, so that version probably contained lots of cream in it but that didn't stop me from going back again and again and again.
So I learned the hard way.... especially after gaining 10kgs after first year of college!!!
A good pumpkin soup need not have cream in it. =)
Speedy Pumpkin Soup
1 kg butternut pumpkin- chopped in bitesize pieces
2 cups of vege stock
herbs of your fancy.
salt n cracked pepper
toasted almonds.
1) Microwave pumpkin pieces on high for 10 minutes.
2) Boil stock. Add pumpkin and herbs. Remove from heat and cool.
3) Use hand blender- whiz it through till smooth.
4) return to heat. Stir gently till heated through.
5) Ladle and sprinkle toasted almonds.
6) Serve with cheesy bread! =)
PS- roasting the pumpkin will bring out a sweeter flavour. Previously, I roasted red onions, pumpkin and red capsicum to create a rich soup.
