Roasted apple, onion and pumpkin soup recipe
You will need:
1kgs (usually half a pumpkin piece) Butternut squash/pumpkin of choice
1 large green apple (pears work too)
1 large red onion
1 small potato
1 carrot
1 litre vegetable stock
1 tablespoon tomato puree
Half red/green capsicum
Chilli sauce to taste (I use Chipolte Tabasco)
Salt and pepper to taste
OK…
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees centigrade
- Chop pumpkin in half or into 2/3 large pieces – depending on size (leave the skin and seeds on)
- Peel onion chop into quarters
- Put onion/pumpkin into an oven proof dish and add capsicum, salt and pepper, bit of oil and roast until pumpkin is soft 30-45 mins
- In the mean time, in a large saucepan warm up your vegetable stock to a low simmer add tomato puree and chilli sauce
- Peel potato, apple and carrot. Chop potato into small thumnail size cubes add to pan
- Grate apple and carrot, add to pan
- Remove roast veggies when cooked – add the onions and capsicum to pan – leave pumpkin to cool slightly so you can handle it
- With a tablespoon remove seeds and then carefully scrape flesh from skin and add to the pan
- When the potato chunks are cooked – blend soup with stick blender or in a blender until smooth.
- Season to taste with salt/pepper/chilli sauce.
- Serve and enjoy with crusty bread topped with a sharp cheese.
- Bon appetite!
