Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin Soup

(This made 2.5 litres (4 x 600) or 5 pints (4 x 1.3) of soup, plus DD had a bowl full for lunch. It is double the normal recipe, so you could halve and use for one meal)

 

3.3lb pumpkin

1.1lb sweet potato

2 large onions diced

4.2 pints chicken stock (works good with vegetable stock)

2 pinches salt

2 teaspoons crushed garlic

 

 

Simmer all ingredients

 

(Optional)Dry roast chopped up pieces of pumpkin sprayed with a little olive oil (skins on) Bake until almost fully cooked. Remove peel and add to soup. This gives a richer flavour.

 

Mash/blender, till thick and smooth, serve.

 

Variation when serving, add some cream.

Might want some ground pepper whan serving also.

 

Enjoy!
