How to make Oven roasted Pumpkin Soup recipe?
To start, simply roast pumpkin wedges in the oven until it is tender.
While the pumpkin is roasting, simultaneously saute the onion and garlic in coconut oil until they're soft and fragrant, then set them aside. Once the pumpkin is ready, transfer it to a pot with vegetable stock and warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes or so, until the flavors have melded together.
Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture into a smooth and creamy soup. Finally, add some coconut milk to give the soup a rich and creamy texture and bring it to a gentle boil.
Ladle to bowls and serve roasted pumpkin soup with your favourite toppings.
How to make Air fryer Pumpkin Soup
To make Air Fryer Pumpkin Soup, start by cutting the pumpkin into wedges and brushing them with oil. Then, air fry them in a baking dish or basket at 200C for 15-20 minutes or until roasted.
While the pumpkin is cooking, sauté some onion and garlic in coconut oil until fragrant. Once done, add the roasted pumpkin, vegetable stock, and spices to the pan and bring it to a boil.
Next, use an immersion blender to blend the mixture into a smooth puree. Then, add some coconut milk and season to taste. Allow the soup to boil for a few minutes before turning off the heat.
Finally, ladle the soup into bowls, add your preferred toppings, and serve air fryer roasted pumpkin soup immediately.
