The instruction how to make Pumpkin and fennel soup with chilli prawns
- Heat half the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and fennel. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add pumpkin, stock and 2 cups (500ml) water. Bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, for 30 mins or until pumpkin is tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Use a stick blender to carefully blend until smooth. Season.
- Meanwhile, to make the parsley and fennel pesto, process the parsley, fennel fronds, rocket, garlic, chilli, pine nuts and parmesan in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream. Season.
- Combine prawns, chilli and remaining oil in a bowl. Season with pepper. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook prawns, turning occasionally, for 2 mins or until prawns curl and change colour.
- Ladle soup evenly among serving bowls. Drizzle with pesto. Top with prawns and reserved fennel fronds.
