Cream of pumpkin soup

Cream of pumpkin soup

This thick soup is really quick to make – almost everything is thrown into the oven together.

Serves 4



1.6 kg   butternut pumpkin (about 1), cut into 6cm pieces
9   garlic cloves
1   onion, cut into wedges
1 tbsp   olive oil
600 ml   pouring cream, at room temperature
To serve:   crème fraîche, toasted flaked almonds, cracked pepper and crusty bread


1 Preheat oven to 200C. Combine pumpkin, onion and garlic in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and roast until tender and caramelised (20-25 minutes). Transfer to a blender with cream and blend until smooth. Serve hot with crème fraîche, almonds, pepper and crusty bread.

This recipe is from the July 2011 issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller.
