How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful soup:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the pumpkin into rough medium-sized chunks, removing the stringy flesh and seeds. Save the seeds in a bowl and set aside.
3. Add the chopped pumpkin, carrots, and onion to a large baking tray (or divide between two trays if needed).
4. Sprinkle all of the spices over the vegetables with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle over olive oil and rub it over the vegetables so everything is evenly coated with spices. Roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until tender.
5. Remove the vegetables from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Scoop the pumpkin flesh from its skin using a spoon; it should be very easy to scoop out. Add the carrot, pumpkin, and onion to a pot.
6. Add the chicken stock to the pot, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Turn off the heat, then blitz the soup until completely smooth using an immersion blender.
