Hello October | A Cozy Day in Autumn - Pumpkin Soup, Magical Oxford, A Slow Autumn Day in October 🍂

Spend a cozy day in October with me - preparing for autumn, exploring Harry Potter locations in Oxford, searching for mushrooms and making a pumpkin soup. October is off to a lovely start and I’ve been loving these slow, lovely quiet days. Something changed in the air and I can’t quite put my finger on it. I feel like this month will be a wonderful one. And I’m wishing you the same!

Remove ends from zucchini and carrots and roughly chop. Peel and onion and cut into quarters. Slice a whole garlic head into half. Place everything on a tray, sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil and then roast for 40-45 minutes at 180C/ 356F. Keep an eye on veggies - you might want to remove everything apart from butternut squash a bit earlier to avoid burning. But I found that everything cooked evenly in my oven. Let the veggies cool down. Then scoop out butternut squash flesh and place everything into a large sauce pan or a deep cast iron pan (with lid). Roughly slice ginger and add to the pan. Add spices and water/ stock. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes under a lid. Add lemon juice and zest. Blend well with an immersion blender then pour cream & mix. Place back onto a hob and bring to a slow simmer (under a lid, or it will splatter everywhere). Try it and adjust salt and pepper to your taste. Optionally you can also fry some mushrooms with salt and pepper in a separate pan and add to the soup, as well as some chopped coriander. When serving, sprinkle with parmesan cheese. _______ Join me on Patreon for more exclusive updates: Buy me a coffee: Music: Epidemic Sound Get 7 days free of Epidemic Sound here Find me on Instagram: Filmed on: Panasonic GH6 Edited with: Premiere Pro CC Music: Epidemic Sound key words: #october #hellooctober #fallvibes #autumnvibes #autumndays autumn, fall, fall aesthetic, slow october, slow living in autumn, seasonal recipes, pumpkin soup recipe #pumpkinsoup #cozyoctober #cozyautumn #slowlivinginautumn Time Stamps: 00:00 - 00:25 Intro 00:26 - 03:55 Slow Autumn Morning 03:56 - 10:07 Oxford & Harry Potter Locations 10:08 - 13:13 Magical Woods & Packing Prints 13:14 - 18:01 Pumpkin Soup Recipe
