    Pumpkin Soups

    Many ways of doing it, here's mine

    INGREDIENTS
    1 knob of butter or marke (approx 1oz/30g)
    1 medium onion, finely diced
    The flesh of a med pumpkin, cubed
    1 large potato, peeled & cubed
    1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
    1 1/4 litres of vegetable stock
    Salt and pepper
    Single cream (to taste)
    Fesh/dried sage & thyme
    1 pinch ceyene pepper

    METHOD
    Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onion until soft. Then add the pumpkin, potato and nutmeg, cover and saute/simmer over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, until flresh softens. Now add the stock and bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

    Cool slightly, puree in a blender, or use a potato masher and return to the pan, ading the herbs & ceyenne. Season to taste and reheat ready to serve.

    To garnish, add a generaous swirl of single cream to each bowl & a prinkle of fresh parsley, coriander or thyme.

    Feel free to post your version

    As an afterthought, wash & thoroughly dry the pumpkin seeds. Put in a dry frying pan & toast until a lovely golden colour, and use as a lovely nutty crunchy garnish or serve warm in side bowls.
