Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1.75kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 1.5cm pieces
- 400g cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed
- 4 cups chicken stock
- Plain Greek-style yoghurt and fresh coriander sprigs, to serve
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until onion has softened. Add curry powder. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add pumpkin. Stir to coat.
- Using a fork, crush half the chickpeas. Add crushed chickpeas, stock and 1 cup cold water to pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low.

Notes
All about freezing soup: Ladle cooled soups in to airtight containers or snap-lock bags. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge overnight. To reheat, place soup in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until heated through.
