Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Peel and cut pumpkin, carrot and potato into bite-sized chunks. • Cut red onion into wedges. • Slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways, then slice each half diagonally.
• Place pumpkin, carrot, potato and onion on a lined oven tray. • Sprinkle with Nan's special seasoning, season with salt and drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• When veggies have 15 minutes remaining, in a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the butter and half the garlic & herb seasoning in a small bowl and microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Season with pepper. • Brush garlic butter over cut sides of the ciabatta. • Place ciabatta directly on wire racks in oven and bake until heated through, 3-5 minutes.
• When roast veggies are done, boil the kettle. • Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook remaining garlic & herb seasoning until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the boiling water (21/2 cups for 2 people / 5 cups for 4 people), white wine vinegar, vegetable stock pot and light cooking cream and simmer, until bubbling, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add roasted veggies to pan and using a stick blender, blitz until desired consistency. Season with pepper.
TIP: Add some extra water if the soup looks too thick. TIP: If you don't have a stick blender, use a blender.
• Divide creamy roast pumpkin soup between bowls. Top with crispy bacon. • Crumble over fetta cubes. • Serve with herby garlic dippers. Enjoy!
