Directions[]
- Melt the butter in the pan you are making the soup in, fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes, add the curry, cumin and cayenne pepper, fry a few minutes more.
- Add the pumpkin and the apple, mix, and then add the stock.
- Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 40 to 50 minutes.
