Spicy Pumpkin Soup



This is a super easy and healthy soup. I'm not really a pumpkin fan myself, but this soup is just delicious!
Serves 4:

- about 500 g pumpkin/squash, peeled, deseeded and cut in to chunks
- 1 zucchini (or 2 or 3 baby courgettes), roughly chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cm of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tsp (hot) curry powder
- handful of fresh coriander
- ½ liter water or (vegetable) stock


Brown onion in a pan with some olive oil, add ginger and curry powder, saute for one or two minutes.
Add pumpkin and saute for two minutes more.
Add water or stock and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is getting soft.
Add zucchini and simmer for five more minutes.
Turn stove off and let cool a bit, then add half of the coriander and puree in a blender. Serve hot, with some more fresh coriander (and a dollop of yoghurt).
