ROASTED PUMPKIN SOUP WITH APPLE AND GINGER



Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Apple and Ginger image

This is one of my favorite fall soups. You can also make it with roasted butternut squash. I like my soups thick so I usually don't add a lot of water, but that is optional. I used 2 fairly large sugar pumpkins, weighing about 2 pounds total.

BUTTERNUT PUMPKIN SOUP WITH GINGER AND COCONUT



Butternut Pumpkin Soup With Ginger and Coconut image

Pumpkin soup is an Australian favourite, but I sometimes find it a bit bland. This recipe adds a little something extra, without overpowering the pumpkin flavour. You can garnish this with some coriander leaves (AKA cilantro). Can be served hot or cold. Note: if you like to make LOTS of soup, you'll want to double this. It really does make only about 4 serves. It looks like a lot of pumpkin, but it cooks down to nothing.

Number Of Ingredients 10

600 g diced butternut pumpkin (You'll need a 1 kg pumpkin)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15oz.)can solid-pack pumpkin

1 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp dried marjoram leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbs cornstarch
*Use only solid packed pumpkin for this soup. Pumpkin pie filling is not a good substitute because it has extra sugars, seasonings, and emulsifiers which will make the soup too sweet and thin. Read labels carefully, and make sure that the ingredient list specifies just pumpkin and salt.

Steps:

  • 1.) In 3-qt slow cooker, combine pumpkin with onions, garlic, and ginger. Mash to combine. Gradually stir in stock, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. 2.) Add water, salt, pepper, and marjoram. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until soup is hot and blended. 3.) In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, sour cream, and cornstarch; mix well. Stir into soup, cover, and cook on high for 30 minutes or until soup is hot.
