When it’s cold outside, a soup is the perfect way to keep warm. This is a super easy recipe with only a few ingredients.
Pumpkin, sweet potato and coconut soup
Some days you just need soup! This has only a few ingredients and will be ready fast, to keep you warm (or very warm if you add lots of chili)
Ingredients
- 2 cups of chopped pumpkin, peeled
- 1.5 cups of chopped sweet potato, peeled
- 1/2 cup to 1 cup of coconut milk (to taste)
- 1 red capsicum, halved or quartered
- 1 red chili
Directions
- Place the sweet potato and the pumpkin in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook until very soft. Drain when ready.
- Meanwhile, turn the grill in the oven on, and put the red chili and the capsicum, skin up, under the grill. Cook until well charred and dark, it should take about 5-6 minutes. turn the chili to cover both sides. If you do not have a grill function in the oven, you could also use the gas stove to char. Remove from the grill and place in a bowl, cover with glad wrap and let it sweat for 5 minutes. peel the charred skin from the capsicum – everywhere it was dark it should remove easily, a little less easily from the chili. If some skin is left that is ok.
- Place the pumpkin, sweet potato, chili, capsicum, water and coconut milk in a blender and blend until very smooth (you can also place all ingredients in saucepan and use a stick blender). Add salt to taste (I use about 3/4 teaspoon) . Reheat if necessary.
- Serve with gluten-free bread or crackers, some chopped chili and coriander. (optional) Enjoy 🙂
