Roasted Pumpkin Soup

This is such a great cheap, easy and quick meal to make. You just need the four main ingredients; pumpkin, garlic, onion and olive oil and it then can be modified with flavors to your choice. You can even add in other vegetables if you like.

This recipe should serve around 6-8 bowls.

Tip: If you have a busy day or afternoon, you can always roast the ingredients for 30-40 mins at any time before mixing them to blend.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Kent pumpkin
