Pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot and tomato that roast in the oven first with thyme, paprika, turmeric and bay leaf. That roasting makes the soup deeper and sweeter than simply boiling everything in water. Then you blend it all with stock to the thickness you like. Our Moroccan thyme adds a herbal note that balances the sweetness of the pumpkin. Finish with coconut milk and pumpkin seeds.

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
2. Cut the pumpkin, sweet potato, tomatoes, onion and carrot into even pieces and spread them over a baking tray. Add the 4 garlic cloves.
3. Drizzle with Moroccan olive oil and scatter 1 tablespoon Moroccan thyme, 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, half a tablespoon turmeric and some salt and pepper over the vegetables.
4. Tuck the 4 bay leaves between the vegetables.
5. Roast for 30 minutes at 200 °C, until the edges caramelise lightly.

7. Finish with cream or coconut milk, pumpkin seeds and chilli flakes.

Chef's tip

Always remove the bay leaves before blending. They stay hard and, once ground up, give the whole pot a bitter edge.

Serving suggestion

Serve with a swirl of coconut milk and pumpkin seeds on top.
