I like to do too much pumpkin when I roast and then make the leftovers into a soup the next day. I also add some orange lentils so it has a bit more protien.

I have always used a few packets of chicken noodle soup as the liquid to boil the pumpkin, onion etc in. Have always also added other veges eg sweet potato, potato etc.

Love the idea of some curry powder...yummmm

The curry gives it a bit of extra depth - I could never go back to no curry now.

Can you make 'lumpy' pumpkin soup? I mean, of course you *can* but does anyone make chunky punk'n? Or does it seem like its not quite finished?

I like soup (but have never made it , BUT am going to give it a good go this winter), but the Man doesn't. Something to do with it being the only thing he could eat for a few months while his jar was wired after his big bike accident. Just found out though, that he WILL eat soup, but not if its smooth, iykwim. Like chunky vege soup. And he luurves pumpkin.

And can you get away with using stock powder instead of the real mccoy?

Rules are made to be broken
If the man likes chunky soup then make it chunky. I've eaten lots of yummy chunky vege soups in my time.

What if you add crumbled crispy pancetta or procuitto and spring onions, would that be chunky enough? Otherwise chunk it up with some small cubes of roasted pumpkin

I add red lentils too! and they never know once its all whizzed up! and taste great, I also roast my veggies, never thought to do it at the same time as my other roast dinner! That would save time. If i am on time restraints then i just put all veg in a big pot and cook on a slow heat until soft then add the water. I only use chicken stock if i cooked from scratch (i don't like to use jars or packets)

I add carrots, sweet pot, red lentils, garlic, pepper, cumin, or keens curry powder!

enjoy and so easy!

Haha AJP - I went to the thread you suggested (sorry, I thought I checked for them, but must've missed this one!), and lo and behold, 2nd page is my thread!!

Thanks all, I neevr thought to roast the veg before making the soup - and I didn't realise you could put so many other veg in pumpkin soup!

[Olive]

i got the threads merged!!

Ooh, last dumb question - does everyone leave the skin on the punkin when they roast it? And keep it on when pureeing it?? Or do you chop the skin off before roasting?
