Pumpkin, Turmeric & Ginger Soup

This week’s new recipe is a deliciously smooth pumpkin turmeric and ginger soup. It’s one of my favourite soup recipes at the moment, especially now that we’ve just hit winter here in Australia, and has a ‘secret’ ingredient that makes it stand out.

I feel as though everyone has their own little secret ingredient for the perfect homemade pumpkin soup. For me, I love to add a tablespoon of natural peanut butter to bring out the nuttiness of the pumpkin. I also like to sauté the vegetables and spices in a couple of tablespoons of ghee before adding the stock and water. It gives a lovely flavour to the soup and compliments the earthy fresh ginger and turmeric. YUM!

Do you have a ‘secret’ homemade soup ingredient?

Enjoy the recipe and let me know if you have any questions.
