[visitor1]

Yummy...i could eat the whole batch right now!!

750-1kg piece of Jap pumpkin
5 Medium sized potatoes
2 medium brown onions
1L vegetable stock
1/2 tbs Cummin Ground
1/2 tbs Corrinder Ground
1/4 tbs Cinnamon Ground
Cracked pepper
Salt
150ml thickened cream

Cut the potatoes and pumpkin in small pieces, place in a large plastic bag and microwave for 4 mins (so not all soft).

In a large saucepan with a small amount of olive oil, cook the onion until soft. Add the Cumin, corriander and cinnamon. Stir until all onion is coated.

Add the pumpkin and potato to the onion mix, stir until all mixed together.

Add the stock and bring to boil. Reduce to medium-low heat and cover for 30 minutes or until potato and pumpkin arensoft.

Remove from heat and mash or use a stick blender until all smooth.

Add salt and pepper as well as cream. Stir together.

Serve while nice and hot!!

Yum sounds delish! I might try your recipe.

Here is mine, it is similar except no cream (DH can't eat it) and has red lentils so super healthy and yum!

500g butternut pumpkin
1 potato
1/2 onion
1/4 cup red lentils, rinsed
1 chicken stock cube
2 cups water
1tbsp butter
1/4-1/2 cup milk

Fry onion in butter until just cooked. Add diced pumpkin, potato, water, stock cube and lentils. Stir and bring to boil. Simmer until vegetables are cooked and mixture has thickened. Blend. Re-heat and add milk until its at the thickness you want. Season with salt/pepper. I usually double this recipe and freeze some.

OK so I don't have exact proportions but my killer pumpkin soup recipe is really simple.

Sweat a couple of onions for about 10 minutes then add chopped buternut pumpkin. Cover with chicken stock and simmer for a couple of hours. Put it through the blender then add a tin of coconut cream. Stir through then if you have thought ahead leave it refrigerated for a day or so - it is always better on the second day.

throw in a boquet garnie (sp) of bayleaves, whole black peppercorns, rosemary and thyme
Simmer until you remember its there lol
Discard herbs and blend until smooth
