Hello....
Welcome to my virgin kitchen today Phoebe and I (the witch) with pink hair we're gonna
turn that pumpkin into a pumpkin soup, it's gonna be amazing - yeah.
Right then mate what are you doing?
First step make sure you get all of the seeds and dig them out putting them into a bowl,
once you've finished getting the seeds out get all of the orange bit out until it's all
white.
So with your pumpking wonderfully carved, thanks for doing that give me 5.
We've got the pumpkin, a red onion, a stock cube which we'll add 500ml water to that,
tin of coconut milk and some pumpkin flesh - so you could either use actual pumpkin flesh,
or use a tin like me are you happy with that?
yeah, ready to cook?
yes.
Please can you tell me when to stop, ok ready go right so Phoebe is putting the olive oil
into the pan that'll do we're just gonna warm that up ok mate, why are we doing that?
So it'll spread out - yes.
Phoebe what are those in your hand?
Purple onions oh my gosh they are amazing put them in the pan then, right so little
Phoebe here is doing an amazing job stirring the onions right mate?
yes look at that.
Are you enjoying it?
Yes.
Are you gonna cry?
No... good, doesn't matter about the size of the onion as they'll all get blended up
yep.
Right then so Phoebe has been spooning in the pumpkin is that fun?
yes.. what does it look like?
it looks like sticky gooey gooey carrots oh carrots and speaking of carrots we've actually
got half a carrot here that's been grated that i'm gonna whack in there too like so
you don't have to use the tinned pumpkin obviously as I said before if you want cut out that
bit there but you are gonna need a little extra obviously to fill up your bowl!
So we just happened to have that tin lying around didn't we mate yeah.
This is a stock cube crumble it in the pan good girl so it's a veg stock cube going in
you can be a bit rougher with it mate really break it like it's angry girl power!
Get the stock cube in there and then we've got some water over there alternatively you
can just make stock normally and chuck it in as one but we'll do it a little safer - water
and stock cube right?
yes.
In goes the water very carefully...
go on mate you can do it all of it?
yeah.
Ok we've got some on the floor and on the chair it's all good - righty ho so Phoebe
just added water to the pan right ? yeah.
Is your stock cube happy about that?
yes.
It looks like it it's sort of swimming in it it's all good so what you've got there
is some coriander, salt & pepper & coconut milk yeah, chuck it all in.
Coriander.....
whoosh, little pinch of salt and pepper please mate, and then pour in that whole tin of coconut
milk all of it?
yeah just go for it and watch it's gonna really lighten it up here we go, don't drop it!
yes!
If you see any bubbles in there quickly run to it and mix it do you know why?
no it's because it makes it really hot.
But there's bubbles in it now, ok so what we're doing is bringing it to a low simmer
and i'm just wondering how she's managed to get loads of carrot there how did you do that?!
put a spatula on the oven - crazy girl.
So we're gonna bring it to a simmer and then we're gonna do the fun bit of whizzing it
up which is kinda dangerous too do you like dangerous things?
yeah......
So after blending up our final batch there it is what are you thinking witch?
really really cool, yeah give me some skin alright you made that how does that make you
feel as a witch less evil slightly it makes my hands really feel like my magic is gonna
work properly yeah you just made a magic pumpkin soup so lets put that in the bowl - abracadabra.
Put your hand over the bowl so people can tell you're there, say hello!
Hello, cool right lets pour this soup in.
Oh yeah, lets cool that down a teeny bit, then we'll swirl some yoghurt in there sound
good?
yes - cheers mate.
Right so while that soup is cooling down please excuse the mess but as you know that does
happen when I cook with Phoebe i've got a couple of those seeds from the pumpkin as
you can see they're browning a little bit just wanna toast them up just lightly and
we'll plonk that on the top to make it look a little flashy and don't worry about any
of this over there, that's family life!
So we'll finish it with another good seasoning and try and make a little cobweb using cream.
So i'll start with some cream around the edge like so maybe 2 or 3 circles all the way around
right that's looking good and if I just dribble some lines all the way down like so i'll work
all the way around like a clock lets see what this look like.
That's cool and what I found is if I just pull a little bit with the point of the spoon
it does kinda sharpen those up a little bit more like so and there we go that is a cobweb
looking thing lets get some seeds on it.
Here we go then just a couple of these seeds that have been toasted scattered on there
like so, just let them sit in there - that's it all done.
