How to make this delicious Roasted Pumpkin Soup?

This recipe couldn’t be easier! All you need to do is place pumpkin, garlic, onion and tomato on a baking tray with generous drizzle of olive oil, some spices and seasonings. Then roast it in the oven until flesh is nice and soft. Transfer roasted veggies into a tall container and blend it until smooth along with remaining juices, vegetable broth and fresh ginger. After that, I like to heat it up in the saucepan to make sure that flavours are distributed evenly. Add double cream (or dairy-free cream) and that’s it! It’s ready to enjoy.

This simple yet cosy recipe will fill your kitchen with warm inviting aroma. Roasted pumpkin soup is the perfect dish for a dinner party or any other occasion. Super easy to make, this soup will definitely impress your guests! You can also serve it with roasted garlic cheesy bread for an extra garlic twist!

This recipe makes 2 large servings perfect as a main dish.
