- Put the pumpkins on a baking tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour.
- Once cooked, scoop out the pumpkin flesh, skin the garlic and onion and chop, then chuck in your soup maker along with the rest of the ingredients and set to blend for whiz for a minute, then set to smooth.
- If using a pan and blender, simmer all the ingredients for 20 minutes and blend.
- While the soup is still cooking, spray the diced bread with frylight and place in airfryer at 180 degrees for 3 minutes or place in oven on baking tray, gas mark 4 for around 5 minutes.
- Serve the soup and top with the croutons you've just made and sprinkle with cheese.
Pumpkin Seeds Snack

- Remove all the flesh attached to the pumpkin seeds and rinse the seeds in a colander under a cold running tap.

- Transfer the seeds to a baking tray, sprinkle the salt and spices on top, spray with frylight and give it a good shake.
- Pop in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 minutes, shaking mid-way.
