Pumpkin Carrot Soup

Makes:

  • 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1kg pumpkin (any soup variety), cubed & roasted or unroasted
  • 3 large carrots
  • 1 tsp. cumin seeds
  • Half clove of garlic
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Piece of ginger (to liking)
  • 1L of water or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup toasted pepitas/hulled pumpkin seeds (for garnish)

Method:

  • Add all ingredients to your BioChef High Powered Blender.
  • Blend on highest setting for 8 minutes or until jug is hot to the touch. Alternatively use pre-set Soup program if applicable to your blender.
  • Note: This method only applies to High Powered Blenders. The incredible power of the motor and high RPM creates friction heat, producing a steaming hot soup.
  • Alternate method: Brown pumpkin, carrot, cumin and garlic (chopped) in a medium saucepan with 1/2 cup of olive oil. Add liquid and salt & pepper and simmer for 10-15 minutes until pumpkin has softened. Cool for 10 minutes, and add to your blender to pulverize.
