This big bowl of winter comfort is made all the sweeter by roasting the pumpkin first in Capilano pure honey. It will add a sweet, caramelised richness to this classic soup, which is brightened by zingy ginger.
500g kent or butternut pumpkin, peeled, de-seeded and cut into 3cm pieces
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped into thirds
½ brown onion, quartered
1 tsp crushed ginger
500ml vegetable stock
2 sprigs continental parsley, to serve
2 tsp dukkah, to serve
2 tbsp plain yoghurt, to serve
Preheat oven to 180°C. Toss the pumpkin in honey, olive oil, salt and pepper, then transfer to a large roasting dish. Place carrot and onion on a separate tray and drizzle with olive oil until coated, then season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables for 35-45 minutes until the pumpkin and carrot are soft and caramelised at the edges.
Transfer vegetables to a soup pot and add ginger and stock. Ensure the vegetables are completely covered with liquid, adding boiling water on top if required.
Place pot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, remove from heat and then blend the soup to a puree using a stick blender.
Divide between two bowls and top with a swirl of yoghurt, dukkah and continental parsley to serve.
