Roast Pumpkin Soup - There’s nothing that signals the change in seasons to Autumn more than Pumpkin soup. This Roasted Pumpkin Soup intensifies the pumpkin flavour for a warming, cosy dinner.

Autumn is here and it’s time for pumpkin soup. Here are 3 ways to make it even better.

Start and finish with sage - Warm butter of medium heat in your pot. When sizzling add sage, then remove and set aside. This will be the base of our soup, and we’ll top with crispy sage at the end.
Roast your veggies instead of boiling them to intensify the flavours. Pumpkin, potato, onion, rosemary and garlic are my go to, AND you can add anything else in your veggie bin that needs to be used up.
Add roast veggies straight from your oven to your blender, THEN add vegetable stock. This way you’re not trying to pour boiling lumpy soup into a blender or risk burning yourself with splashback. THEN add the blended soup into the pot with sage infused butter, and simmer to reduce for 5 mins.

Chop pumpkin, potato and brown onion and peel garlic and place to a baking tray. Add dried rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Taste and season, then serve a dollop of Greek yoghurt, shaved parmesan, crispy sage, and some crusty bread.

You can also add a drizzle of honey if you like it - which I do.
