Vegetable Soup with Pumpkin and Risoni
Warming, filling, and ready in under 40 minutes. Swap the risoni for leftover cooked rice or barley if that's what you've got.

Clean, mild flavours — just pumpkin, shallots, and garlic blended smooth. Perfect for a cold autumn evening.
Peel the pumpkin, cut it in half, and scrape out the seeds. Cut into chunks.
Chop the shallots and garlic.
Heat the oil in a pot and fry the shallots and garlic until soft and translucent. Add the pumpkin pieces and let them fry along for a couple of minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Let the soup simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is completely tender.
Use a stick blender or regular blender and blitz the soup until completely smooth. Add more water or stock if needed.
Season with pepper and lemon juice.
