1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (Fan Forced)

2. Peel and roughly chop the pumpkin. On a baking tray, drizzle with oil and your preferred spices. We like Sumac or Parprika. Roast until soft.

3. In a medium saucepan, sautee the onions in oil until softened. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

4. Add the roasted pumpkin to the pan. Cover in vegetable stock and bring to a gentle simmer. If the vegetable stock isn't enough to cover the pumpkin, top up with water. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Remove from the heat and carefully blend using a stick blender.

To Serve

Drizzle with pouring cream or a dollop of yoghurt and sprinkle over fresh dill and sesame seeds. Best eaten on the couch with a cosy blanket and Netflix.
