Method
Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees C.
Place the pumpkin into a roasting tray with the cajun, sage, seasoning & oil. Mix it all up using your hands.
Roast the pumpkin in your oven for around 45 minutes to an hour – or until its tender.
When the pumpkin is cooked. Place a large saucepan over a medium heat & a drop of oil or water if you’re keeping this recipe oil free, onion & garlic. Sauté the mix with a pinch of salt for 4 minutes.
Add the pumpkin to the saucepan, followed by the milk & vegetable stock.
Allow the soup to simmer for 10 minutes before blending it until super smooth.
Blend the soup a few ladles at a time & if it’s too thick add more vegetables stock.
Check the soup is seasoned ok before serving with the garnishes.
Soup can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
