Pumpkin Miso Soup

04.17
Long time no see! I've missed blogging!
I would apologise but you know, I was busy living my lovely life and prioritising the important stuff (family, work, study, health). So I've missed you and missed blogging but I'm pretty sure I was doing the right thing.

Life update: It's been crazy busy, for the most part I've been away for work or buried under a pile of assignments. Teaching in the high country was a challenge but great fun.. I can't wait to go back in a few months. I summited a couple of beautiful mountains and took some great photos... that will hopefully soon be up on my red bubble. You know, when the last essay and research project are done. Would you like me to post a couple of my favourites here? I've been thinking about it for a while but don't want to bombard you with images or confuse the blog. But I do have some stunning beach shots from the other weekend too... let me know?

I owe you some yummy food. Actually, I owe ME some yummy food. I've got to be honest, I've been on and off with my food choices recently and have gained weight. I need to get back into the swing of things. Ok so to help me to get back into the swing of things I'm going to try and get into a blogging schedule. I'm going to try and blog at least weekly. I used to have the time and energy to blog daily but when life gets uber busy my food choices are repetitive and boring- no one wants to see my can of baked beans, fruit, green soups or salads again and again. How does that sound to you? Weekly blogging of a (hopefully) great recipe instead of multiple boring ones? And then in the holidays when I actually have time to relax I might have time for more! *fingers crossed*
This soup is delish! It's thick, creamy, filling, sweet and salty while being satisfying and super easy. This was actually round 2, the first time I over did the miso and it was wayyy too salty- so be warned, go easy on the miso and adjust to taste. 
Pumpkin Miso Soup
Makes 5 serves (165 cals per serve)
8 cups chopped pumpkin
6 cups water
1/4 cup miso (I used yellow young soy miso but I'm sure others will taste great too)
2 tbsp dried chives
1/4 tsp aesofatida
1 tbsp mustard powder
1 tbsp dried rosemary
pepper to taste
  • chop pumpkin- leave the skin on!
  • cook in water until tender (or in the pressure cooker)
  • blend well
  • add other ingredients to taste
  • blend again and adjust consistency by adding water as desired
  • enjoy!
  • keeps well in the fridge for a few days & freezes perfectly
I have a gorgeous friend who I'm trying to entice into healthy food... she needs to for health reasons and I don't know what to do... she's anti-veg-salad-tofu etc and pro diet coke... any ideas? I want to help her so much but she said she'd never make anything from my blog because it just doesn't appeal. I get that its a big step but there must be a way to win her over! I'm just stuck because everything I think tastes divine she doesn't... I'm SO open to any opinions or tips! please help?!
