Pumpkin & Kumara Soup (Pakena me te hupa kumara)
Ingredients:-
2 Brown Onions
1 Tbsp olive oil
550 grams Pumpkin
550 grams Kumara
1 tsp ground Cinnamon
1 tsp ground Cumin
4 cups (1 litre) Vegetable Stock
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes:-
Coconut cream, fresh herbs, toasted pumpkin seeds
METHOD:-
Peel and finely slice onions. Peel and cut pumpkin and kumara into small cubes.
In a large saucepan over a medium heat, cook onions in the oil for a couple of minutes.
Add the kumara, pumpkin, and the spices. Stir until well coated. Cook for 1 minute.
Add vegetable stock and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Use an immersion blender, food processor or blender; blend the soup until it is smooth.
Make sure the consistency is to your liking – add a little extra stock or water to thin the soup out if you wish.
Optional – drizzle the soup with coconut cream or a garnish of your choice; fresh herbs or pumpkin seeds are great options.
