This Spiced Pumpkin Soup is not only delicious but it's a delightful way to celebrate the season and enjoy a nourishing meal.


Ingredients:

  • 1 small pumpkin (1-1.5kg), peeled, seeded, and diced

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander

  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)

  • 4 cups vegetable stock

  • 1 cup coconut milk (or your preferred milk)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, coriander and pumpkin seeds to garnish


Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.

  2. Add the diced pumpkin and continue to sauté for a few minutes.

  3. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes to let the spices release their flavours.

  4. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pumpkin is tender (about 20-25 minutes).

  5. Using a hand blender, puree the soup until it's smooth. If you don't have a hand blender, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

  6. Return the soup to the pot if necessary and stir in the coconut milk.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Reheat the soup gently, but do not allow it to boil once the coconut milk is added.

  9. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or coriander and a few toasted pumkin seeds.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE WHERE I
AM NOW

"I have tried, and failed, in the past to lose weight which had a

negative effect on my self-confidence, but all this changed when I met Michelle.

 

With her expert knowledge, guidance and encouragement my confidence grew and I began to believe in myself again.

 

I started my journey on the 4-week programme and Michelle gave me everything I needed to get started.

 

Literature on what and what not to eat, labelling

advice, which was a real eye opener, recipe ideas, some with ingredients I never thought I would eat but have enjoyed and has given me a passion to start cooking again.

 

I received honest, positive feedback from Michelle, and I looked forward to our weekly zoom meetings. My weight began to drop, and this has spurred me on to continue to look after my body and I now look at food in a totally different way.

 

I never thought I would be where I am now, and this is due to the daily support I received from Michelle who is a very caring and friendly lady. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.
