Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Rosemary
Such a simple and quick recipe and the perfect antidote to a cold day. Whipped up in literally minutes, you can prep ahead easily with this one.
This was a last minute mercy dash lunch for someone and it turned out so well, I decided to write it up for you! Took an average pic, but believe me the soup is anything but average. Teamed up with Vegan Turmeric Latte Dinner Rolls it was a bit yum!
If you hate peeling pumpkin as much as I do and if you can't do the pumpkin soup that Thermomix tells you to do WITH the peel blended into the soup (ICK) then this is the answer. Plus you get loads more flavour without more ingredients, which during these times where shopping can be difficult, is a good thing. Hope you love it!
OH and FYI and before you send me emails about my ingredient list; It may just be an old wives' tale, but it is said that jap pumpkin derived its name from growers who weren't sure of how to market it, so they chose the acronym of Just Another Pumpkin! I am going with that.
