Roasted Pumpkin Soup

I got a little pumpkin in my vegetable box last week, and luckily a recipe for soup came with it, so thanks to the Riverford Vegetable box scheme for this. The recipe has a few more stages than I'd usually commit to for a soup, but it's not really hard work; you just need to be in for a couple of hours - a great reason not to go out if it's gloomy and wet outside like it has been here for the last week and you've just decorated the Christmas tree...

Steps
- 1
Place the slices of deseeded pumpkin in a large roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a preheated oven 180°/Gas 4 and roast for about 40 minutes until the flesh is soft and slightly caramelized.

Meanwhile heat the rest of the olive oil in a large pan, add the onions and cook for 20 minutes, until tender. Stir in the paprika, garlic and chilli and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stock. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the onions are completely soft.

When the pumpkin is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and chop the flesh into chunks. You can retain the skin if you wish, if it's as tender as the flesh.
- 4
Add the pumpkin to the soup, and blitz with a hand held blender or in a food processor. Check for seasoning. Add the sweetcorn and bring back to a slow simmer.

Now prepare the garnish. Chop the avocado and squeeze the lemon over the top, grate the cheese and mix it with crushed tortilla chips. Chop the parsley. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle over the toppings.
