Turk’s Turban pumpkin soup
European 10 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Carefully slice off the top of the pumpkin to create a lid, keeping it aside and scoop out the seeds. Return the lid back onto the pumpkin and place it into the microwave.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes in the microwave to keep the most vibrant colour, or alternatively, roast in the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes until the flesh is tender.
- Once softened, scoop out the flesh, being careful to keep the pumpkin shell intact for serving.
- Transfer the pumpkin flesh to a blender along with the pumpkin spice, salt, pepper, cream and garlic paste for a quick flavour boost. Blend until smooth and silky, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
- Pour the warm soup back into the hollowed pumpkin shell and place the lid slightly ajar on top.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice and serve it as a beautiful centrepiece, perfect for sharing.
