Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium orange pumpkin
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1 medium red onion
  • ½ tsp. turmeric
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ tsp. sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. curry
  • ½ tsp. crushed red pepper
  • ½ cinnamon stick
  • orange peels optional
  • sesame optional

Instructions
 

  • Cut the pumpkin, the potato and the onion into medium pieces. We wash them well and leave the skin on the pumpkin and the sweet potato when they are organic.
  • You can keep the pumpkin seeds to dry them, bake them in the oven for a few minutes, and use them for another preparation.
  • Put them in a sauce pot, add water to cover your vegetables (not completely but at ¾) and add the spices. Cover and simmer at medium heat for about 30 minutes.
  • When ready, remove the cinnamon and let the soup cool so you can mix it in the blender (unless you have a hand blender, so you can mix it directly into the pot). Add half a glass of water in case the ingredients cannot melt in the blender.
  • Serve warm in a bowl and garnish with thin orange peels (optional), a little bit of crushed red pepper, sweet paprika and sesame.
