Pumpkin soup is a quintessential winter warmer and this Moroccan Pumpkin and Chickpea Soup is a new spin on the beloved classic. Made from everyday pantry ingredients, you can easily whip this up for dinner at a moment’s notice. Roasting the pumpkin beforehand draws out amazing flavour, and if you batch roast pumpkin at the start of the week, this soup can be ready in less than 15 minutes on the day.
