Pumpkin & Macadamia Soup
Ingredients
• 1 Med Crown Pumpkin & ½ Butternut Pumpkin
• 2 Cups Hot Water
• 1 Kumara
• 1 Onion (large)
• 1 ltr Vegetable Stock
• 1 Cinnamon Quill
• 1 Bay Leave
• 100g Natural Cathedral Cove Macadamia nuts (optional)
• 1 Can Coconut Milk
• 30-40 mls Cathedral Cove Macadamia oil & Cathedral Cove Macadamia Dukkah to season
Method
In a large saucepan place the onion with 2 cups of boiling water on high heat whilst you cut & add the kumara, followed by the pumpkins. Add the stock, cinnamon quill & bay leave.
Cover & bring to the boil for 10 minutes before reducing the heat & simmering for a further 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For a thicker consistency place 100g macadamia nuts in a food processor. Pulse a few times to chop the nuts into very small pieces like meal. Add this to the saucepan & remove from heat.
Allow the saucepan to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the bay leave & cinnamon quill before placing in a glass blender to puree.
Return the soup to the saucepan to heat & add the coconut milk. When ready to serve sprinkle some Cathedral Cove Macadamia Dukkah over the soup before finishing the dish with Macadamia Oil. Place some parsley on top & enjoy.
