Pumpkin Tumeric and Orange Soup

Pumpkin, Tumeric and Orange Soup


INGREDIENTS:

1 Pumpkin
3 to 4 onions
4 -6 cloves of garlic
1 piece of tumeric about an inch long (more or less to taste)
2 vege stock cubes
1 orange
olive oil
salt 
pepper

METHOD:

  • Fry onion and garlic in olive oil in a large pot. 
  • Take skin off pumpkin and chop into smallish pieces, add to onion and garlic and lightly fry to bring out the flavour.
  • Grate some of the rind off the orange into the onion mixture.
  • Peel tumeric and grate into the onion and pumpkin ( Be careful as fresh tumeric will stain everything yellow)
  •  Add your vege stock cubes and then add water to the pot until the pumpkin is just covered.
  • Simmer until pumpkin is cooked, then Blend.
  • Cut orange in half and juice it, add orange juice to taste with a little salt and pepper
  • Serve and enjoy (I added a little tofu sour cream to mine on service....was delicious!!!)
