A creamy simple pumpkin soup that's extremely easy to make. This recipe is from my year 10 cooking class and its my go to recipe on a cold winters day. Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of warm soup? I also serve mine with extra cream, feta and crispy bacon shards to add some texture.
Ingredients: 350g Pumpkin ( I use butternut) 1 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock 1/4 Teaspoon ground Ginger 1 Medium Onion 2 Tablespoons Cream Method: Peel pumpkin and cut into 5cm pieces. Peel and finely chop onion. Place all ingredients, except cream, into a saucepan. Cover and bring to the boil, Stirring once or twice. Once boiling turn heat down to a simmer and cook until pumpkin is soft. Cool slightly then place in a blender and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan and reheat soup. Stir in cream and serve hot. Ingredients: 3 Cups Self Raising Flour 80 Grams Butter, cubed 1 - 1/4 Cups Milk Jam and Whipped Cream for serving Method:
Preheat oven to 200'c. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using your fingertips rub butter cubes into flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and add 1 Cup milk. Using a butter knife mix until a soft dough forms (you can add more milk if needed). Knead dough until smooth (but try not to overwork it). Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat down until its around 2cm thick. Using a dough cutter cut out circular shapes until all dough has been used (you can pat dough together to create more). Place on baking tray and sprinkle with a little flour. Bake for 20-25mins or until scones are golden and well risen. Once baked you can serve hot or cold with jam and whipped cream. Note: you can add any flavourings you like at the mixing stage. |
