Background

This spiced pumpkin soup is an excellent dish for the holiday season - just serve it in a mug at parties with some crusty bread or tortilla chips on the side.

Ingredients

1 pumpkin or squash (about 1 kg)
500 ml water
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
2 knobs of butter or dairy-free spread
2 Tbsp wine/cider vinegar
Salt, pepper, sugar
To serve: sour cream or cream, Greek yogurt, chives (optional)

Instructions

Peel the pumpkin and scrape out the seeds. Cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes.
Put the pumpkin cinnamon stick, cloves in a saucepan. Add the water and bring to the boil. Simmer, under cover and on low heat, for 20-25 minutes until tender.
Remove the spices, then blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Add the vinegar, butter, then season with salt and pepper & sugar ( maple syrup) to your taste. If the soup is too thick, add some more water and heat it up again.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped chives scattered on the top, if you like.

Tips

For this recipe you can use up the flesh of your carved pumpkin lantern the next day after Halloween
