Warming Pumpkin Soup
Background
This delicious and warming pumpkin soup is very healthy and quite low-cal. It can work out at only about 125 kCals per portion, depending on how much coconut milk and other ingredients you use. It's perfect for winter, but it's best to use a proper edible pumpkin rather than one of the rather tough & stringy Halloween carving type!
Ingredients
- 15g oil spray (15 kCal)
- 80g Onions (28 kCal)
- 2 cloves Garlic (9 kCal)
- 1 Tbsp Curry Powder (44 kCal)
- Medium Pumpkin (1300g = 172 kCal)
- 130g Potatoes (98 kCal)
- 130g Carrots (39 kCal)
- 1 litre vegetable stock (70 kCal)
- 400g Tin Chickpeas (288 kCal)
- After Pressure:
- ½ Cooking Apple (100g = 38 kCal)
- 400g coconut milk (268 kCal)
Instructions
- Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Peel and remove the seeds then cut the pumpkin into smallish 3 to 4 cm chunks. The carrots and potatoes only need to be scrubbed before cutting into chunks.
- Spray the oil into the pressure cooker pan. Over a low heat, gently brown the onions & garlic.
- Add the pumpkin, potatoes and carrots and stir together before adding the chickpeas, tomatoes & stock.
- Increase the heat and bring up to pressure for ten minutes. While the cooker is steaming, peel, core and grate the apple.
- Use the cold-water quick depressurise method then remove the lid. Stir in the apple. Use a hand blender to create a potage. Season to taste, then over a medium heat, stir in enough coconut milk to achieve your preferred texture & creaminess.
