Tip:
Scoop out the pumpkin into a dish, season and spread into an ice cube tray and freeze until you need them or just chill them in the fridge ahead of time!
1. Heat olive oil in a pan and add the diced pumpkin. Cook until soft (approximately 10 minutes)
2. In a separate pan, add the carrot juice and Knorr Jelly Pots and bring to the boil.
3. Pour the carrot juice mixture over the pumpkin and simmer for 12 minutes until combined. Add the cheese and double cream and cook for a further minute.
4. Once all ingredients are combined, take off the heat and blitz to create a smooth, creamy consistency and season.
5. Grill the sourdough slices, top with cheese and place under grill until golden brown.
6. Serve the soup in a warm bowl and top with croutons.
