Ingredients

1 pack Haloumi
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
½ tspn ground coriander
1 tspn ground cumin
2 tspn fresh ginger, finely grated
½ tspn ground nutmeg
1kg pumpkin, peeled and diced
1 potato, peeled and diced
1L liquid vegetable stock

Preparation

1 Heat oil in saucepan and fry onion, garlic & ginger until soft.
2 Add coriander, cumin and nutmeg, stirring for 30 seconds.
3 Add potato and pumpkin and fry for five minutes.
4 Add vegetable stock, bring to the boil. Turn heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until vegetables are soft.
5 Once slightly cooled, puree the soup with a blender or stick blender.
6 For the haloumi croutons, heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Cut haloumi in slices and fry in pan. Cook until golden underneath then flip and cook until the other side is golden. Remove from heat and transfer to a cutting board. Chop into bite-sized squares.
