Pumpkin coconut soup (1 of 1)Nothing beats soup in winter – and I think pumpkin soup is definitely the pick of them all. But, delicious as it is plain, pumpkin goes so well with so many different flavours that I can never resist adding some kind of twist – a bit of chilli, some red lentils, or some curry and coconut like this one here:

Ingredients (serves 4):
1kg jap or kent pumpkin, rinsed and roughly chopped (no need to remove skin)
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
1/2 cup light coconut milk
2 tsp red curry paste

Method:

  • Place pumpkin, stock and water in a large saucepan, cover and bring to the boil. Boil for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is very soft
  • Remove pumpkin pieces to a chopping board using a slotted spoon and slice off skin. Discard skin and place pumpkin back in saucepan along with stock and water
  • Add red curry paste and coconut milk and blend using a stick blender until smooth
  • Serve with a little extra coconut milk and some chopped coriander

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
