Roasted Pumpkin Soup! My favourite soup…EVER.  I’ve always enjoyed eating pumpkin, cooked the traditional Indian way.  My family, not so much.  So I just had to fix that, didn’t I?  Now, as much as I loved this vegetable, I was sceptical about cooking it any other way.  Anywhoo, fast forward, decided to roast the pumpkin, threw in garlic, onion, a bit of carrot and tomatoes…and hello, now it’s a family favourite as well…yes, I’m taking a bow! 🙂

Pumpkin, this humble vegetable is incredibly rich in Beta Carotene, a powerful antioxidant; that improves eye health and helps to get that radiant skin!  It can also protect your skin against sun damage.  It has a high content of immunity-boosting Vitamin C, fibre, and potassium; all this together promotes heart health. As its a very low-calorie vegetable, it is recommended for cholesterol controlling and weight loss diets. Another plus point?… It’s easily available throughout the year.

Roasting the vegetables makes them soft, caramelized and infused with the flavours of olive oil, herbs, and garlic.  You’ll love the comforting, delicious aroma wafting through your house… The rich depth of flavour that comes through is truly incomparable.  Coconut milk makes it luxuriously silky and finally, the lemon juice just makes it sing!

You can make the soup thick and creamy or, if you prefer a lighter consistency, just add some extra water or broth.  I don’t skin the tomatoes as I like a bit of texture that comes through. You could certainly pass the soup through a sieve to make it really smooth.
