SPICY PUMPKIN AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• To make the "magic sauce", toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a frying pan over medium, heat until fragrant. Set aside to cool. Once cooled add to a food processor and process until a powder forms. Add the remaining ingredients and process until you have a smooth paste. Decant into a clean jar and refrigerate.
• To make the soup, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onions along with a pinch of salt. Fry the onions until golden. Add 2 tbsp of the "magic sauce", and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the pumpkin and toss in the onions and sauce and allow to brown slightly.
• Add the vegetable stock and beans. Bring to a boil, before reducing to a simmer for 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender. Add the coconut milk and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and, using a hand held blender, blend the soup until smooth. Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk and fresh cilantro.

WHITE BEAN & PUMPKIN SOUP (VEG)

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight in plenty of water. To use the quick method, rinse the beans and then add them to a large pot with enough water to cover them by about an inch. Bring to a boil, let boil for 5 minutes then turn off the heat and leave covered for an hour. Either method, drain the beans when you're ready to start!
• Warm the olive oil in a soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the diced onion and saute for about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and continue to cook for another 5 minutes or so.
• To the cooking onions and garlic, add in the bay leaves, salt and herbs. A note on the herbs: I crush dried whole herbs saved from the garden, you could use fresh, either way chop well. If using ground versions, use much less, around 1/3 tsp each.
• Once the onions are nicely translucent and lightly browned add in the beans, pumpkin and broth. Adjust seasoning and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium low, cover and leave to cook for about 45 minutes, stirring from time to time. Remove the lid for the last 15 minutes of cooking if you want to reduce the amount of broth and have it more stew like.
• If you used the quick soak method for the beans, it will need to cook slightly longer, about an hour.
