I love it with a crusty baguette for dipping, dunking, and wiping the bowl clean! It would be really delicious to eat out of bread bowls too or with a grilled cheese. My creamy pumpkin and carrot soup is so heartwarming and soothing in crazy moments life brings. I love to add a bunch of fresh thyme, my favourite herb, to add freshness and earthy flavours.

Creamy Pumpkin and Carrot Soup step by step

Pour a bit of olive oil into the pressure cooker, then add the sliced ginger and garlic and let it simmer a bit.
Put the pumpkin cube and carrot into cooker, seasoned it with the salt, pepper and nutmeg powder as you like it. Let it simmer for a while and then add 2 cups of water..
Securely close the pressure cooker tightly and let the wonder work for 10minutes. Longer time needed if the pumpkin is from a harder type..
Meanwhile, you can prepare your tortilla by grilling them lightly over a small fire on a grill pan with a splash of olive oil until it’s crispy and properly done..
Once the time set for the pressure cooker, take it from the stove and put it under a running water on your sink to release the pressure before open it. Be careful for the steam coming out from the cooker..
Slowly take the pumpkins and carrots from the cooker and put into the blender with some of the liquid from the cooker. Do not over stuff the blender and always leave 1/4 of empty space in the blender before covering the lid carefully..
Blend the pumpkin mush and carrot as you like. If you want it to be smoother, blend it longer. I like it a bit coarser, so I only blend it for 5-10 seconds..
Put the cooker pan back on the stove and add some water into it (about half of the amount of your puréed pumpkin mix) and put to boil with the chicken stock cube in it..
Add the sliced sausage into the pan and let it boil. Dropped the 1st slice of Kraft Singles and let it melt in the mix. Then slowly put the blended mixture of the pumpkin and carrot slowly, while keep stirring it well..
Seasoned it with salt and pepper and some nutmeg powder to your taste. Let it boil into simmer with low heat..
Serve with the grilled tortillas and the other Kraft singles cheese. You can add more cheese if you want. Don’t forget to sprinkle some parsley on top of it before serving it..
Best to eat on a cold night or rainy afternoon. Enjoy!.

There is a comforting sweet and nutty taste from both butternut pumpkin (squash) and carrots. Bung all of the veg, the seasoning, with the exception of the fresh herbs and the stock into a big pot. Place onion, pumpkin and carrot on a roasting tray. The vegetables should be soft and slightly caramelised but not mushy. In a large saucepan place the stock, bay leaves and roasted vegetables.
