Pumpkin Soup Recipe?

[Phteven]

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

Just a note to say : i tried tonight the Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Soup sold in a clear container in Safeway ... omg, it was shocking (like a mouth full of ginger inside of any vegetables) ... Teach me for supermarket shopping at dinner time & not making my own pumpkin soup like i use to once upon a time ago

Bron, thank you for the reminder of the rules....

Cai, I think I might go for the roast pumpkin chunks for the Man. By the way, I think your roast veg soup sounds absolutely delish!

Right now, I'm having a squiz through the vege slow cooked soups, and then I'm off to try and make friends with my SC. I bought a couple of different veges the other day to make myself cook soup. Wish me luck!

Netix, for DD who has to have chunks I make huge croutons by cutting up sourdough bread and spraying them with olive oil and roasting them in the oven & then chucking them in as I put it on the table. It works wonders for soup consumption

Oooh, thanks for the tip Christy.

I put on some vege soup this morning in my SC..... Bit worried about it being bland though...

Ingredients (serves 6)
2 tbs olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 leek, white part only, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1kg peeled pumpkin, diced
1 large potato, peeled, diced
1L chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup (125ml) thin cream
Method
Heat oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add onion and leek and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened but not coloured. Add garlic and spices and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add pumpkin, potato and stock and bring to the boil. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then blend in batches.
Return soup to pan, stir through cream and reheat gently. Season and add a little more nutmeg if desired.
