Cut the fresh pumpkin flesh, green onion, carrots and ginger into pieces and fry in a little oil in a large saucepan. Pour in the chicken stock until the pumpkin flesh is covered. Cook until tender and puree with a magic wand. Add orange juice, turmeric and maple syrup and season with balsamic vinegar, chilli, salt and pepper.
The soup is wonderful to freeze.
Tip: as a variation, top with whipped cream, chopped pumpkin seeds (without the shell) and a few drops of pumpkin seed oil. North Sea shrimps and honeydew melon balls in the soup also taste great.
