Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas Mark 6. On a baking tray, arrange pumpkin, carrots, garlic, and onion. Apply turmeric and oil; toss well to coat.
- Next, roast vegetables for 20-25 minutes or just until tender. In the meantime, in a large heavy-based saucepan, place the thyme, stock, ginger, and lentils. Cover with lid, place on the heat and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. When simmering, take out the lid and cook uncovered for around 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
- When vegetables are roasted, apply them to the cooked lentil mix and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Use a blender or food processor to blend the soup to the wanted consistency or simply puree in batches in a blender.
- Finally, to serve, place the pumpkin and carrot soup into a serving dish, season and top with some yogurt (if desired).
Enjoy!
