Ingredients

• 1 kg (2 lb) pumpkin or squash, peeled and cubed
• 1 onion and 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 potato, cubed
• 2 cm (1 inch) fresh ginger, grated
• 1.2 litres (5 cups) water or oil-free stock
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Put everything in a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Simmer 25 minutes until very soft.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Season and add more water if it is too thick.

Tip. The potato makes it creamy, so there is no need for cream.
