This super creamy, winter warming pumpkin soup is sure to become everyone’s favourite.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 brown onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1kg peeled pumpkin
  • 2 carrot
  • 3 cups reduced-salt vegetable stock (or water)
  • 1 cup So GoodTM Oat No Added Sugar
  • Salt & pepper to taste

 

Method

  1. Step 1

    Roughly chop onion, garlic, pumpkin
    and carrots.

  2. Step 2

    Drizzle olive oil into a large saucepan
    or stockpot over medium heat. Add
    onion and garlic and sauté for 2 - 3
    minutes until onion starts to soften.
    Add pumpkin and carrot and stir.

  3. Step 3

    Add stock to the pan, increase heat
    to high and bring to the boil. Cover,
    reduce heat to low and simmer 20 - 25
    minutes, until carrot is tender and
    pumpkin easily mashes when pressed
    with a fork. Remove pan from stove
    and stir through oat milk.

  4. Step 4

    Puree soup until silky smooth.
    This can be done in the pot with an
    immersion stick blender, or carefully
    ladle into a heat-proof blender jug.
    If using a blender, you may need to
    puree in batches.

  5. Step 5

    Return soup to pan to re-heat if
    required, and season with salt and
    pepper to taste. Serve warm with
    crusty bread and a side salad.

Tips

  • Soup re-heats and freezes well. Store extras covered in the fridge, or cool completely and divide into lunch-sized servings for the freezer.
  • Sprinkle soup with toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) to serve.
  • For a flavour boost, add a tablespoon of curry paste or your favourite spices to the onions and cook for a minute before adding the stock.
  • For a gluten free option, choose gluten free stock
