Preparation

Step 1

Roast the pumpkin, peel and cube.

Fry off the onion with the chili and spices in a little olive or coconut oil until the onions become translucent.

Add the pumpkin and stir thoroughly through the onion mixture.

Add the stock and ensure everything boils for about 15 mins.

Add the lentils and boil for another 5 mins.

Remove from the heat and blend everything using a stick blender, AKA a hand mixer.

Optionally, garnish with a dollop of yogurt or cream, and minced parsley. Not necessary, however. The soup tastes great as is.
