♡
Did you know?
Pumpkin was a staple in medieval English feasts and was believed to ward off illness.
Method
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onion, garlic and carrot until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced pumpkin, ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika and salt; stir for 2 minutes to release the aromas.
Stir in the red lentils and pour in the vegetable stock; bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20–25 minutes until the pumpkin and lentils are tender.
Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth, then stir in coconut milk if using; adjust seasoning and serve hot.
