Making low carb simple
Instructions
Place 1/2 of the butter in a heavy-based pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper (save some for garnish) and cook until softened. Stir in the ginger, turmeric, salt, pepper, and vegetable stock.
Add the cauliflower and pumpkin, stirring until combined. Cover and cook on medium-high heat for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
While the soup cooks, melt the remaining butter in a small pan over medium-low heat, and add the hemp seeds. Stir frequently, until the seeds are toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Place the contents of the pot into a high-speed blender, working in batches if needed. Or mix it in the pot with an immersion blender. Add the cream cheese and blend until smooth and creamy.
Return mixture to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. For serving, top with a swirl of cream, reserved red peppers, and toasted hemp seeds.

Pumpkin does tend to have a high carb count. This is from our liberal low carb recipe collection.

I made this recipe a couple of days ago and though I wasn't sold at first, it proved delicious once the flavors had a chance to settle. My dish turned out a bit more saucy than soupy; Instead of adding water, I think it'll make a wonderful substitute for korma base due to its nutty flavor and velvety texture. Even so, I've been enjoying it as a soup, too!
