Pumpkin Soup with Fideos Recipes

Though this dish is vegetarian, cooking the pumpkin with cinnamon and cloves gives the broth an "implied meatiness,"

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 750g pumpkin, pre-cut, peeled and chopped
• 2 potatoes, peeled, chopped (optional)
• 1 litre Coles Brand Real Chicken Stock
• Cracked pepper, to serve and
• Crusty bread, to serve 

Method:

Step 1: Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium. Add pumpkin and potato and Fideos cook, stirring, for 2-3 min, until well coated. Add stock. Increase heat to high. Bring to boil. Cook, covered, for 15 min, until vegetables are tender

Step 2: Remove from heat and using a stick blender, blend until smooth. Return to medium heat. Add cinnamon and simmer for 5 min, until pasta is tender.

Step 3: Ladle into bowls, top with Fideos, cracked pepper. Serve with crusty bread.
