Narnie's Pumpkin Soup

This recipe is one from my late grandmother and a very well-liked one in our family. Goes perfect with Ripe Deli Savoury Scone and a spread of butter.

Recipe:

- 60% Butternut pumpkin (approximately 2kg)

- 40% Carrots (approximately 1.4kg)

- 2 large white onions

- 2 Tablespoons of butter

- Garlic & ginger to taste

- 4 cups of vegetable stock

- 1 teaspoon of cumin

- 1 teaspoon of dried coriander

- Salt & pepper

Sour cream, fresh herbs & hot bread for serving.

Method:

1. Lightly sauté diced carrot, pumpkin and onion with butter in a hot soup pot.

2. Add stock & flavourings.

3. Cook for 1-2 hours, stirring every so often to ensure the bottom doesn't burn.

4. Blend while hot or serve chunky as is.

5. Garnish with a generous dollop of sour cream and fresh coriander or chives.

6. Serve with hot bread or Ripe deli Scone and enjoy!
