Ingredients
  

  • 1.25kg (2.75 pounds) pumpkin (the weight is with the skin on)
  • 1 brown onion peeled and cut in to quarters
  • 2 cloves garlic skin left on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 750ml (3 c) vegetable stock or water / water with stock cube
  • salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan / 200˚C / 356˚F convection / 392˚F.
  • Cut the skin off the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Cut into 1 cm thick (.4 inch) slices.
  • Separate some of the layers of onion – you don’t want individual layers as these canburn.
  • Place the pumpkin and onion in an even layer on a baking sheet. Add the garlic cloves and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 40-50 minutes until soft, stirring the pumpkin and onions after half an hour. The cooking time will vary depending on how ripe your pumpkin is, but you want it to be soft as this will make a smooth soup. If in doubt put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
  • Cool slightly, then tip the roast pumpkin into a saucepan.
  • Squeeze out the garlic from the skin and add to the pumpkin. Add the stock and blend until smooth.
  • Heat over a gentle heat. Check seasoning, then serve.

Notes

Pumpkin - or butternut squash.
Make sure that the pumpkin is cooked. In if any doubt then put back in the oven for another 5 minutes and test again. Well-cooked pumpkin makes a lovely smooth puree. If it’s not soft, then your pumpkin soup could be a little grainy. Still tastes ok, but not as smooth and silky.
