This Cape Malay curry pumpkin soup is the perfect dish for a spooky celebration! Pumpkin pieces are oven-roasted and blended together with curry-spiced onions, carrots, celery, garlic, veggie stock, and orange juice. Once it is lush & velvety, the soup is bowled up, drizzled with black tahini, and garnished with toasted walnuts & fresh parsley.

ROAST THE PUMPKIN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
TOASTED WALNUTS
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ALL THE AROMATICS
When the pumpkin has 10 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion, the diced Carrot, and the sliced celery until beginning to brown, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the curry paste (to taste), and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix through 300ml boiling water, the juice from 2 orange wedges, the orange zest (to taste), and the stock. Stir in the roasted pumpkin pieces and simmer, 2-3 minutes.
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Pour the pumpkin mixture into a blender and pulse until smooth. Return to the pot, place over a medium heat and allow the soup to heat through. Add a splash of water if the soup is too thick. Remove from the heat, season, and cover.
TOUCH OF TAHINI
Place the tahini into a small bowl and loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
GOLDEN Ciabattini
Spread butter (optional) or oil over the Ciabattini slices. Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, toast the slices until golden, 1-2 minutes.
ALL DONE!
Bowl up a hearty helping of the pumpkin soup and drizzle with the tahini. Garnish with the toasted walnuts and the chopped Parsley. Serve the toasted bread on the side for dipping. Tuck in, Chef!
