Step 1Place the stock in a pan on a medium heat and simmer until the stock reduces in volume to about half (15-20 minutes). Concentrating the stock in this way makes the soup super tasty.
Step 2Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional). Slice the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds and peel (unless you are using Hokkaido in which case you can leave the peel on). Cut into cubes about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick. Bake for 20 -25 mins and then set aside.
Step 3Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a pan on a medium heat. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Gently fry the onion on a medium heat for 3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and fry together for 1 further minute.
Step 4Add the cumin, ginger, garam masala, paprika, salt and pepper to the onions and garlic and fry for 4 minutes on a medium-low heat.
Step 5Add the roasted pumpkin and concentrated stock. Simmer on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Place in a high-speed blender like a Vitamix and puree until smooth. Add a little more stock or water if needs be to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6Remove the skin from the chorizo sausage. Finely dice the chorizo meat and fry on a medium heat in a dry non stick pan for about 5 minutes until cooked through and crispy.
Step 7Ladle the pumpkin soup into bowls, top with the chorizo crumb and optionally, top with yoghurt, sesame seeds and watercress. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
