Roast Pumpkin and Sage Soup

Now I have to admit something. I don’t like pumpkin. I really don’t It’s one of those vegetables that I find too sweet, especially when roasted. So it rarely makes an appearance in our house, even though hubby just loves it. However I do make a mean pumpkin soup and my Roast Pumpkin and Sage Soup is one of the best! And it this time of year when it’s definitely soup weather, it is certainly getting a run!

It’s roasty and toasty, sweet and gently spiced, and the background flavours of sage and lemon are just divine. It’s an amazingly simple soup to make too. Prep the ingredients then into the oven it goes for a decent roasting. Add some stock, give it a bit more roasting then it’s ready to blend and enjoy. Perfect!

It freezes well if you happen to have any leftovers, however that is rare in my house! Top it with poached chicken or some prawns for a bit of extra goodness or add a dollop of Greek yoghurt to balance some of the sweetness. I also love to roast up some extra small pumpkin cubes in honey, salt and olive oil to give that added texture and amp up the pumpkin sweetness! This roast pumpkin and sage soup really is a delight however you enjoy it!
