Serves 10–12 (1 cup portions)
Stovetop
Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large soup pot and brown 1 onion.
Pour in 6 cups water along with the packet contents and 800g chopped pumpkin — or cook and purée the pumpkin beforehand if you’d rather. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer until the pumpkin is soft, roughly 45 minutes.
Stir in 3 cups cream or milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 chopped apple, and let it simmer another 10 minutes. Splash in extra water if it’s looking thick. Mash or purée the pumpkin with a ladle of the soup, then stir it back through. Season with salt and pepper.
Prefer it smooth? Purée the whole lot once it’s cooked.
Slow cooker
Brown the onion first, then add everything else and cook on high for 6–8 hours.
