Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Cut your pumpkin into quarters and reserve the seeds. Rub the pumpkin quarters with about 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Bake on a baking tray for 45 minutes, or until fork tender. Remove the pumpkin skins and mash the flesh well. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add your butter. When the butter is melted, add your diced onions and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, until the onion has started to soften.
Add your stock, coconut milk, pumpkin, curry powder, and chili flakes, and apple, and bring to a simmer. Cook on medium low for 15-20 minutes. Add your maple syrup.
Using a hand blender, puree the soup until smooth. Season with salt & pepper. Top your soup with fresh cilantro, diced chili, pumpkin seeds and a dash of cream.

Pumpkin Seeds

Dry your pumpkin seeds with paper towel, removing any liquid. Heat a pan on medium. Add 1 tbsp of grape seed oil. When the oil is hot, add your pumpkin seeds and curry powder. Fry your seeds, turning often, for 6 – 8 minutes, until they start turn golden brown. Add your maple syrup, and keeping your seeds moving constantly, fry for another 2 or 3 minutes.
Place your seeds on paper towel to remove excess oil, but only for a second, or they will stick to the paper. Place on a baking sheet and allow to cool. Once they’ve cool, break apart.
