Prepare your pumpkin by dicing into small pieces and cooking in boiling water until soft

Once the pumpkin is cooked through, put into a blender and process until it forms a puree

In a saucepan, add the water and heat on the stove, before adding the chicken stock powder and stir until dissolved

In another saucepan, melt the butter and add the onions, garlic and ginger

Cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is translucent

Once cooked, add the salt, pepper, coriander, cumin and cinnamon and cook for another 2 minutes

Add the pumpkin puree to this mixture and stir well

Add the chicken stock and stir well before letting it simmer for 20 minutes

Take ingredients off the heat and use a blender or food processor to create a smooth puree

Return to the heat and cook for another 20 minutes

Serve hot with thick cream, crispy bacon pieces, spring onions and chili flakes!
