Soup weather is upon us & this is like a warm hug in a bowl! Pumpkin & apple who would have thought?! It’s a match made in heaven.

The apple adds a delicious sweetness & compliments the pumpkin beautifully. Roasting everything before adds another level of flavour through caramelisation.

There is absolutely no need to peel anything, as always, there’s so much nutrition in the skin. I also keep the seeds in, because they’re high in zinc & goods fats, plus it’s an easy way to bump up the nutritional value of soup. Once it’s blitzed up, if you have a good blender you won’t taste the skin or seeds-promise!

The white beans add creaminess, fibre & protein to help keep you fuller for longer.

This recipe is relatively low calorie so definitely have a larger serve or have it with some crusty bread (I can’t go past a grainy sourdough, lightly toasted with extra virgin olive oil…mmmm)

I've tried different types of pumpkin & I have to say in my opinion Kent Pumpkin is by far the best for pumpkin soup!

Red lentils also work well instead of white beans but you will need to cook these in the stock first.

I’ve made this soup lots of times, adding in different veg. Try adding sweet potato, more potato or carrot to the mix, these works every time as well.

I was feeling a little fancy & added a swirl of basil pesto which I had in the fridge-it adds a nice flavour punch!
