Pumpkin soup is a typical Kiwi go to in winter. Our kids love mopping up a thick soup with fresh buns or hearty bread so we whipped this version up for a nourishing but very easy Sunday dinner.

Our kids like a bit of spice…you can modify how much curry paste you use to suit your tastebuds or chill it down with a little more milk or sourcream.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 crown pumpkin chopped
  • 1 large kumara chopped
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 Tbsp garlic crushed
  • 1/2 jar Thai Curry paste, we used green curry
  • 1 Tbsp chicken stock powder
  • Boiling water to cover pumpkin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 can coconut cream
  • Chopped fresh coriander
  • Cream cheese or sour cream to garnish
  • Breads of your choice

Method

  • Fry off onion, garlic and curry paste in dash of oil.
  • Add pumpkin, kumara, carrots and cover with stock, water, season.
  • Simmer until vegetables are cooked.
  • Stir through coconut cream.
  • Either mash or blitz with a blender stick
  • Garnish and serve
