Ingredients:
3 pounds (1.5 kg) Pumpkin, peeled and roughly chopped
1 medium (about 10 oz/280 g) Sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped (optional – can substitute with 2–3 carrots)
3-4 tablespoons Olive oil, divided 
1 Onion
1 whole head Garlic
1 tablespoon (15g) Fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1-2 teaspoon Curry powder (optional, for warmth and depth)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
6-8 cups (1.5-2 liters) Vegetable stock, depending on desired thickness
¾ to 1 cup (180–240 ml) Coconut milk, or heavy cream for a richer finish
Fresh coriander (cilantro), for garnish

Instructions:
1. Roast the vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
2. Place pumpkin, sweet potato, and onion on a lined baking sheet. Cut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves, and drizzle generously with olive oil. Drizzle the rest of the vegetables with 2–3 Tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast 40–50 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and caramelized.
3. Cook aromatics: In a large pot, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add grated ginger and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Simmer: Squeeze roasted garlic from the skins and transfer all roasted vegetables to the pot. Add vegetable stock, thyme, nutmeg, curry powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes.
5. Blend: Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), blend until silky smooth.
6. Finish: Stir in coconut milk (or cream) and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust consistency with extra stock if too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh coriander, toasted bread, or a swirl of cream.

RECIPE:
Ingredients:
2-3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Onion, chopped
2 Celery stalks, diced
2 Carrots, diced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Ginger, grated (optional) 
1/2 medium Cabbage (about 8 cups), chopped
1 can (400g) Chopped tomatoes (or 3 fresh ripe tomatoes, diced)
6-8 cups (1.5-2L) Vegetable broth
3/4 cup (140g) Red lentils, rinsed
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste 
2 Bay leaves 
1½ teaspoons Paprika
1½ teaspoons Cumin 
1 teaspoon Dried oregano 
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
Zest from one lemon 
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
3-4 tablespoons Parsley, chopped


Directions: 
1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened and slightly golden. Stir in celery and carrots, and cook for another 4–5 minutes until they begin to soften.
2. Add garlic and spices:  Stir in ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, and basil. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the cabbage: Add chopped cabbage and cook, stirring often, for 4–5 minutes. It will seem like a lot, but it will wilt down as it cooks.
4. Simmer the soup: Add chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, red lentils, aby leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until lentils are tender and flavors meld together.
5. Finish and serve: Turn off the heat, stir in parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with crusty bread.

1½ cups (180g) Powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) Milk
