Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten free, rye or spelt wholegrain bread, crusts removed
- 2L chicken stock or vegetable stock (to make this recipes vegan)
- 1kg pumpkin, cut into small cubes
- 80g firm organic tofu, shaved or coarsely grated
- 1 onion, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh coriander leaves
- Extra virgin, cold pressed olive oil
Method
- Cut the bread into 1cm cubes.
- Place the bread pieces in an oven tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 10 minutes or until the bread is crisp.
- Remove the bread and cool, covered.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion over low heat until it is soft and transparent. Add some of the stock if the onion starts to stick to the pan.
- Add the rest of the stock, garlic and pumpkin pieces, then simmer, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very soft.
- Remove from the heat and cool a little.
- Puree the pumpkin mixture in a food processor until it is smooth (alternatively, a hand blender can be used instead).
- Return to the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add equal portions to 4 bowls and top with the toasted bread croutons, the tofu and coriander leaves.
- Drizzle with a little more of the olive oil and serve.
Use only organic non-GMO tofu to make this soup as there are health concerns about genetically modified soy (which tofu is made from).
