Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Pumpkin |
| 450g | Sweet potatoes |
| 50g | Butter |
| 2 | Onions |
| 1 | Ginger |
| 2 tsp | Caraway seeds |
| 1 2/3 cups | Vegetable stock |
| 2 tbsp | Clear honey |
| 1/2 tsp | Cinnamon |
| 200g | Cheese (for topping) |
| To taste | Salt and pepper |
| NA | Chili powder |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Peel the sweet potatoes and pumpkin, then cut them into cubes of roughly the same size.
-
-
Sauté Onions: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
-
Cook Vegetables: Keeping the heat consistent, add the cubed pumpkin, sweet potatoes, grated ginger, caraway seeds, and vegetable stock to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the saucepan and allow the mixture to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes and pumpkin are tender.
-
Puree the Mixture: Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Then, working in batches, carefully puree the mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth.
-
Add Flavor: Transfer the pureed soup back to a clean saucepan. Stir in the clear honey and cinnamon, adjusting the seasoning if necessary. Allow the soup to come to a gentle boil before removing it from the heat.
-
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous sprinkle of cheese for added richness and flavor.
-
Optional Variation: For a heartier meal, consider adding cooked pasta shapes to the pureed soup. Simply cook your favorite pasta for about 5 minutes (until it’s still firm), drain it, then add it to the soup. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to marry the flavors before serving.
