I'm a fan of nutmeg in pumpkin soup

thanks ladies... I am however currently missing a blender... one of the things MIL recently packed up for DH...

could i mash it.... or should i just buy a blender tomorrow?

mashing is fine, add some stock if it's still a bit lumpy We regularly just have ours mashed when I can't be bothered cleaning the blender!!!

The one i made the other day was brown onion, bacon & zucchini, boil up some pumpkin in chicken stock, then add in all the pre-cooked stuff until the pumpkin is soft and the water is basically gone then throw in a blender.. even DP ate it and DD2 went back for 2 bowls

I fry up some onion and garlic til aromatic then add chopped pumpkin in stock and cook til tender, I also usually add a few potatoes and some cauliflower in it, dash of nutmeg and cream to serve...Mmmmm! I also have a Donna Hay recipe for a Thai spiced one that is delish which has spice and coconut milk in it.

Mashing is fine.
Can't believe your MIL stole your blender. What a twat.

Oh never made pumpkin soup sounds easy, how much pumpkin do you need to make a big batch?

The spiced thai one sounds yummo, is it easy?
