Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 400 g pumpkin, diced (I use hokkaido squash)
  • 1 stalk celery, diced finely
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (use big ones, if you like garlic)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 ts dried)
  • 2 cups vegetable stock (might need more)
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • If using fresh thyme first of all remove leaves from the sprigs and use only the leaves for the soup.
  • Heat oil in a pot and when ready, add all the veggies and the thyme.
  • Sautee for about 4 minutes or until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Add enough broth to just cover the veggies.
  • Simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Using a hand-held blender puree the soup to your liking.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with all the trimmings you like.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTE: For a slightly different flavour, roast the pumpkin and garlic beforehand (in the oven) and cook slightly less.
