Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 1 small cooking pumpkin
  • 0.5 cup raw cashew pieces
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, or to taste
  • 1 tsp salt to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak cashews in water to cover for several hours (optional, but helps them blend better).

  2. 2

    Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and bake cut-side down at 350°F (175°C) until very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Scrape pumpkin from the peel and purée in a blender in batches with any juices. Transfer to soup pot.

  4. 4

    Blend cashews in blender until smooth and add to the pumpkin purée. Rinse the blender with a little water and add to the pot. Add more water if too thick.

  5. 5

    Add ginger and salt to taste and heat gently for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve warm.
