Serves 4 - 6
1kg pumpkin, peeled and diced into 2cm cubes 750g kumera (red sweet potato), peeled and diced into 2cm cubes 1 large red onion, peeled and diced 1 cup (200g) red lentils 2 litres chicken or vegetable stock 2 teaspoons ground cumin + extra ground cumin for garnish 1 cup Jalna Fat Free Natural or Fat Free BioDynamic Organic Yoghourt
- Put pumpkin, kumera, onion, lentils stock and cumin in a large pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Puree mixture with a hand held blender or in a food processor, until smooth.
- Stir yoghourt through soup or dollop on top and sprinkle with extra cumin, and serve with a crusty wholemeal roll.
Note: The Yoghourt has no fat compared to alternatives like coconut milk or cream, but still gives a lovely smooth texture. Make extra so you can heat up for a quick meal later or take in a thermos to classes or work. Add more stock for a thinner consistency, more vegetables and/or lentils for a thicker consistency. Add other vegetables, such as carrots or green peas towards the end of cooking for added colour and texture.
