Pumpkin is such an easy vegetable to cook but it is the cutting which takes some time.
Once you have the peel and seeds out, it cooks in no time.
Roasting it in oven makes it even more flavourful and if you have leftover roasted pumpkin, you can use that here.
This soup is super creamy despite not using any cream. Adding cashew paste does it. Also you can use coconut cream too.
It is hearty and warming. Look at that gorgeous yellow colour. My kids just slurped away more than 1 serve and I said why not!
