Ingredients
-
5 – 6 cups water
-
3 lbs pumpkin, peeled and cubed
-
5 grated garlic cloves
-
3 cardamom seeds
-
1” fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
-
Generous sprig of thyme
-
1 sprig of scallion
-
2 teaspoons coconut oil, optional
-
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins:
-
Yellow yam
-
Carrots
-
String beans
Instructions
Step 1
Heat the oil in your soup pot or one that’s large enough to hold all the ingredients. Add the garlic and cardamom seeds first. Cook for a minute, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients and bring the pot to a boil. Partially cover the pot so it doesn’t bubble over and create a mess! Cook for 20 minutes. The pumpkin should be tender, and the seasonings translucent.
Step 3
Taste and let sit to cool.
Step 4
Once the pumpkin cools, use a blender to puree the pumpkins for a creamier consistency. You could also leave the consistency as is. Add the yam and your favourite vegetables.
Step 5
Serve in your favourite bowl, get comfy and enjoy!
