This is what I call my "healthily indulgent soup", using macadamias rather than cream to bring a delicious rich creaminess. Just a touch of nutty texture, and the sweetness of macadamias and apples. If you can find the Australian nuts, all the better, as the nut from its native terroir has a more subtle soft crunch!

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a heavy based large saucepan, add the macadamias, onion and ginger, and sautZ over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden.
  2. Add the pumpkin (or squash) and apple and cook 1-2 minutes further, then pour in the stock. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until pumpkin is soft.
  3. Tip off some of the liquid, and reserve, then puree the remainder using an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth and creamy. Add more of the cooking liquid to bring to desired consistency.
  4. Reheat and serve in bowls scattered with extra macadamias.
