I’ve always enjoyed eating pumpkin, cooked the traditional Indian way.  My family, not so much.  So I’ve tried a bunch of recipes that appeal to everyone’s taste – this Roasted Pumpkin Soup is one of them! It’s got rich, well balanced flavours, has a thick creamy texture and is the most comforting meal you could ask for. What’s not to love?

Health benefits of 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.

Making the roasted pumpkin soup

Chop all the veggies, cover them in olive oil and oven roast for 30 minutes. After they have cooled down, toss everything in the blender and cream them together. Add water to create the consistency you want! Add the soup mixture to a saucepan to heat and season it.

Quick Notes – 

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.
