Soup Maker Recipe: Cream of Peppercorn Pumpkin Soup

Did you know raw pumpkin seeds are actually good for you?  I only found out when I was looking for more ways to add protein into my life.  I’ve tended to mostly roast my seeds before eating, but it’s not necessary at all. Straight from the pumpkin, these little pale seeds also have iron, potassium, phosphorous, zinc and magnesium.  Don’t throw away those seeds when you’re carving up your pumpkins this year – get them in your bellies somehow. You can use them in soups, salads, sandwiches, porridge, cereal, pasta and even curries and stews.

I like to add seeds at the end for extra crunch.  I haven’t tried adding them at the cooking stage, but I’ll be trying that over the next week before Halloween.  We’ve ended up with far too much pumpkin to use…

Cream of Peppercorn Pumpkin Soup

Print Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 21 mins
Total Time 31 mins
Course Soup Maker
Cuisine Soup
Servings 4 -6 Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 460 g Pumpkin peeled, chopped.
  • 100 g Onion diced.
  • 130 g Leek chopped.
  • 2 Vegetable Stock Cubes.
  • 2 Teaspoons Ground Peppercorns. I used rainbow peppercorns.
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg.
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste.
  • Water.

Instructions
 

  • Saute your onions in a little oil if you wish. I didn't this time round, as I was in a bit of a hurry.

  • Add all your ingredients, apart from the stock cubes to the soupmaker.

  • Top up with water, to above the minimum and below the maximum levels.

  • Crumble the stock cubes over the top, and mix well with a wooden spoon.

  • Make sure your lid in on properly.

  • Choose the smooth setting.

  • At the end of the cycle, I used my blend setting for another 10 seconds to purée the soup even more. Pumpkin can need a little longer to break down than other vegetables.
