Healthy & Hearty Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients:

1.5 kilos pumpkin, peeled and cut into cubes

1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes

1 medium onion, peeled and cut into cubes

3 carrots, peeled and cut

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

100 grams butter

Water or vegetable broth

1 tin of coconut milk

Salt and white pepper according to taste

 

Preparation:

• Melt the butter in a large pot and lightly sauté the onion, pumpkin, sweet potato, and carrot.
• Add water or broth until the pot is 3/4 full.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer in a covered pot for approximately 45 minutes.
• When the vegetables are soft, blend with a hand blender. If you do not have a hand blender, wait until the soup cools a bit and then transfer to a blender. Blend until the soup is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add a bit of water or broth.
• If using a blender, return the soup to the pot, add the coconut milk, salt and pepper and cook an additional 10 minutes on a low flame. Do not boil.
• Option: garnish with coconut flakes.
