Good morning, everybody! 👋🏻 😊 🍁 🍂 Autumn’s here - time for soups and beans and porridge! And we’re still selling apples, pears, quince, squash and pumpkins. And we’ve still got tomatoes from FarmEco! ♻️

♻️ Because Local = a smaller carbon footprint.

♻️ We know lots of you grow your own fruit & veg too so if any of you are now mulching your allotment/veg beds for the winter, we’ve got lots and lots of flattened cardboard boxes that you’re welcome to take. I can send them to recycling too but first come, first served!

Our FarmEco volunteers tucked into delicious Spiced Pumpkin Soup with Carrot, cumin and fennel bread for lunch today. Well deserved after a hard morning of picking, packing and painting.

Most of the ingredients are available to buy from Hardy's Farndon and Newark Eco Refill including our magnificent organic home grown pumpkins.

Here’s the recipe if you fancy giving it a whirl.

***Spiced pumpkin and coconut soup***
Makes about 10 portions

2 onions diced
1.5 kg pumpkin or squash
One head of garlic
3 tablespoons oil
3 red peppers seeded and chopped
3 to 4 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme (less if dried)
1-2 litres vegetable stock
400 mls of coconut milk
Two tins of chopped tomatoes or passata

1. Halve and deseed the pumpkin then cut each half into 2-4 slices and brush with oil. Place on baking tray. Wrap the head of garlic in foil and also place on the baking tray bake in hot oven 180°C for about 40mins or until tender. Note: you may wish to toss the pumpkin seeds in a little oil and Cajun seasoning and roast them in the oven until lightly brown (about 15-20mins).
2. Meanwhile, dice the onion and peppers and cook slowly in the oil until soft and slightly brown. Add the Cajun seasoning and fry for a minute then add the thyme, stock, coconut milk and tomatoes.
3. Scoop the soft flesh from the pumpkin skin, dice and add to the soup. Unwrap the garlic and squeeze the soft garlic from the cloves into the soup. Bring to simmer for 15-20 mins. Adjust the thickness of the soup with more stock or water if needed.
4. Serve the soup either chunky or blend until smooth depending on your preference.
5. Serve with the roasted pumpkins seeds sprinkled over and a dollop of cream or coconut yoghurt.
