    I just got given a recipe off a friends Grandma, havent tried it yet tho..

    2kg Pumpkin, peeled
    2 Onions, peeled,
    2 Apples, cored (granny smith)
    2C Chicken Stock
    1tsp Nutmeg
    1tsp Salt
    2C Water
    2.5C Milk
    Freshly Ground Pepper
    Chopped Chives
    Sour Cream

    Chop pumpkin, onions, apples and place in a heavy saucepan, add stock, nutmeg & salt. Bring to the boil, cover & simmer for 35-40 mintutes. Puree or push through sieve. Put back in pan, add milk. Adjust seasoning. Serve with sour cream and chives..

    Now upon typing this i realise it says nothing about what to do with the water...will investigate. Although im sure someone else will come along with a recipe in the meantime!
