Method
- In a heavy-based pot, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and translucent. Add pumpkin and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add stock concentrate, hot water and Indian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until pumpkin is soft.
- Remove pot from heat and process soup with a stick blender until smooth. Return pot to heat, add cream and bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix in more Indian seasoning for a stronger flavour if preferred.
- Serve with crème fraîche, parsley and Indian seasoning sprinkled on top.
Simon says ...
Serve with warm flatbread of your choice (I used naan).
Shimmering means the oil is heated to a point where the surface begins to ripple but does not smoke.
Use a food processor or blender if you don’t have a stick blender.
