Pumpkin & Sage Soup

Ingredients

• 1 small onion (diced)
• 350 g pumpkin (peeled and diced)
• 300 ml semi skimmed milk
• 500 g vegetable stock
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Dice the onion and peel, deseed and dice the pumpkin. Add to your soup maker/pan with the rest of the ingredients

2. 2

   If using a soup maker, set to the smooth setting and leave the machine to do the work. I put my soup maker on twice to make sure the pumpkin was fully cooked through and blended smoothly

3. 3

   If using a pan, cook until the pumpkin has completely softened and then blend with a stick blender or in a liquidiser
