Description
Level up your pumpkin soup. Serve it in a crusty bread bowl and top it all off with fresh, homemade pesto.
Method
Step 1 of 6
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until vegetables have softened.
Step 2 of 6
Add pumpkin, then stir in stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until pumpkin is very soft.
Step 3 of 6
Meanwhile, to make the pesto, place rocket, basil, pine nuts, garlic, oil and half the parmesan in a food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4 of 6
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place cobs on tray and scatter over remaining parmesan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
Step 5 of 6
Remove soup from heat and allow to cool. Using a stick blender, blend until smooth, then return to low heat and bring to a simmer. Stir through cream and season.
Step 6 of 6
Ladle warm soup into cobs and swirl 1 tbs pesto into each. Top with extra pine nuts and serve with cob tops.
