Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 brown onion diced
- 1/2 stalk celery diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 carrot chopped into chunks
- 200 g pumpkin seeds removed and chopped into 2cm chunks

- Add in the stock, coconut milk and 1/2 a cup (125ml) of water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until pumpkin has softened and liquid has reduced by about half. You may need to add more water if the pumpkin absorbs too much liquid.
