Hey, it’s autumn. (Or Fall, if you’re that way inclined…) And for about 3 weeks of the year there are pumpkins in the shops and then we forget they exist again, kind of like the vegetable version of tennis with Halloween being Wimbledon…
Anyway, here is my recipe for Pumpkin Soup:
- 1 Small Pumpkin
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Parsnip
- 1 Onion
- 650ml Veg Stock
- 125ml Milk
- 1tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Dollop of Margarine
- Chop the veg, for the pumpkin you’ll need to scoop out the seeds first, then scoop out the flesh.
- Melt the marge in a saucepan then add and fry the onion until soft.
- Add the stock and other veg and simmer for 20 mins.
- Remove from heat and add the milk and cinnamon, then blend until smooth.
- Heat up again if needs be and eat. This made about 2 portions for me so I froze the rest for another day.
So that’s my soup, last year I roasted some pumpkin.
Anyone else do anything else exciting with a pumpkin…?
