Nothing says winter more than having roasted pumpkin soup in the kitchen. This soup recipe is made even richer with the addition of sweet potato. Topping it with the traditional Egyptian nut and spice mix dukkah gives the soup added texture and layers of flavour.
The best thing about it is that you can have everything combined in one generously sized Wolstead Superior+ 24cm Casserole, making clean-up quick and easy. Start your hearty dinner with bowls of pumpkin soup and serve each with slices of sourdough bread for dipping.
