According to Amy's list, today is the 9th of Stocktober (soup day) so I am sharing with you my own recipe for Pumpkin Soup. I have tested it with the strictest of critics and have received rave reviews, even from The Bloke Who Lives At My Place who hates soup, and the Jumping Bean aged 4 who hates pumpkin but asks for this soup at least 3 times a week.
Let me know what you think!
(Apologies for no pictures of said soup, refer to yesterday's post)
I make a huge pot of soup with these quantities then freeze my leftovers - you can vary the quantities to suit your needs.
Ingredients:
2 brown onions
4 or 5 Medium potatoes
1 big wedge of Jap Pumpkin
1 big wedge of Grey Pumpkin
1 half a Butternut Pumpkin
2 Massell Chicken Stock cubes
Water
Pouring cream
Salt and Pepper
Peel and roughly chop the onions, all the pumpkin and the potatoes. Throw into a large stockpot.
Add the stock cubes, and enough water to come up to about 2/3 of the vegies (so they are not completely covered by the water). Don't stress about this, you can add more water later if you want a thinner soup.
Bring to the boil, the simmer gently with a lid on, for about an hour. You can simmer for a couple of hours as long as you keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil dry!
Blend the soup using a blender or a stick mixer. Add the cream during the blending process. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top (optional) and serve with some crusty bread. Enjoy!
That sounds yummy. I like the idea of putting a few potatoes and cream in - must give this a go!
