Recipe: Pumpkin and sweet potato soup with coriander sambal & cumin flatbread

How to Make:
- Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add half the ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin, sweet potato and half the cumin and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until aromatic.
- Increase heat to high. Add the stock and water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the pumpkin and sweet potato are very tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Transfer to the jug of a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C. Combine the remaining oil and cumin in a small bowl. Place the bread on a large baking tray and brush with the oil mixture. Bake in oven for 5 minutes or until the bread is crisp. Break the bread into large pieces. Combine the coriander, chilli, coconut and remaining ginger in a small bowl.
