Core Roast Pumpkin, Fennel and Apple Soup

Slightly sweet and spicy, the flavours are nicely rounded with red wine vinegar

Serves: 10-12 as soup course or 6 as mains 
Difficulty: Easy
Points: The whole pot (approx 2.5L) is only 7.5 pts, so 0.5 pts serving 10-12 or 1pts serving 6
Cooking time: 80mins

Ingredients:

• 1kg butternut pumpkin, no skin or seeds, cut chunky
• 1 large red capsicum, deseeded
• 2 medium onions, peeled and halved
• 500g of carrots, washed, topped and tailed but left whole with skin on
• 1 large granny smith apple, cored with skin on
• half a fennel bulb
• 1.5L of chicken stock, preferably low salt 
  (note vegetable stock can be substituted to make this vegetarian/vegan)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp crushed garlic
• 2 tsp red wine vinegar
• salt, pepper
• oil spray

Method:
Spray 1 or 2 baking trays with oil.
Arrange the vegetables and the apple in a single layer. Spray lightly with oil spray
Bake at 180*C for about an hour until there is nice darkisk brown colouring on the vegetables
Blend in batches with the chicken stock, then add the cinnamon, garlic and vinegar.
(I used a stick blender. If using a jug blender, use cool chicken stock, or allow vegies to cool as blending hot soup may blow the blender lid and spray soup on the ceiling - you'll only do this once!)
Add salt and pepper to taste
Warm through and serve.

Almost Core Egg White Open Omelette with ham, spinach, tomato and cheese sauce (+0.5)

Low fat, fluffy omelette with a smooth cheese sauce

Serves: 1
Difficulty: Fairly Easy
Points: 2.5pts or Core +0.5pts
Cooking time: 6-7 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites
• 2 TB cottage cheese
• 30g of thin sliced smoked leg ham
• 1/2 a ripe tomato, sliced razor thin
• handfull of baby spinach
• * 1 x 97% fat free Kraft Single (trust me on this one, OK?)
• salt and pepper

Method:
Spray a bread and butter size non-stick skillet with a little oil and pre-heat on high.
Blend the egg whites and cottage cheese together for about a minute. You want it to thicken slightly and turn white, but not form peaks.
Pour the egg white mix into the pan and immediately turn down to medium.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes without a lid. The bottom of the omelette should look firm and set, but there will be fluff on the top third.
Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper
Cover the omelette with the ham, then the tomato, then the spinach.
Break the cheese slice into 3 pieces and spread across the spinach.
Put the lid on and cook for another 3 minutes. The aim here is to steam the spinach and tomato and combine the juices with the cheese slice to form a creamy light cheese sauce.
(If your skillet doesn't have a lid, put a metal baking tray on top and remove with a pot holder)
Slide a egg flip around the edges gently to loosen, then underneath. Now you can gently slide the omelette onto your plate.

For a more substantial meal, slide the omelete onto a rye mountain bread (+ 1 pt for Pointers) and roll up.
