FODMAP friendly pumpkin soup

- Serves 4

- FODMAP friendly and vegan!

Pumpkin soup is my favourite Winter warmer! This recipe is super easy and best of all, it won't hurt your FODMAP sensitive tummy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 KG Kent pumpkin, peeled and chopped into large cubes

• 1 large potato, roughly chopped

• 4 tablespoons of garlic infused olive oil

• 1 lt of Massel vegetable stock

• 1 tsp of ground nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

• 1 tsp of salt

• a good pinch of pepper

• 1 handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped

• 125ml or 1/2 cup of cocounut cream

• a handful of pepitas (pumpkin seeds) to garnish

METHOD

1. Heat garlic oil in a large pot. Once hot, add pumpkin, potato and stock.

2. Add 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and 1/2 tsp of cardamom.

3. Bring pot to the boil and then simmer on low heat for 25 minutes.

4. After 25 minutes, stir in salt, pepper and another 1/2 tsp of nutmeg.

5. Let the soup cool for 10 minutes. Add half of the fresh coriander and purree with a hand/stick blender (this might be easier to do in 2 batches out of the pot).

6. Return the pot to the stove on low heat. Stir in the coconut cream and cook for 2 minutes.

7. Serve in bowls garnished with fresh coriander and pepitas. A bit of crusty bread to mop it all up at the end doesn't hurt either.

Enjoy!
