My fave in the cooler months!<br />I make a mean spicy pumpkin soup - and my kids actually love it and they hate pumpkin, so it must be good. ;-)<br />Just cook a few cups of assorted veggies, and lots of pumpkin and onions in a pot of chicken stock. Add garlic and a large can of tomatoes. Simmer for an hour, then let it go to room temperature. Add a couple of tablespoons of curry paste, juice of a lemon, 1/2 cup light coconut milk, and a chopped bunch of coriander. Puree the lot.<br />Heat and eat! It freezes really well too - and there are hardly any calories!<br /><br />I love the quilt, it's just beautiful!Jenny of Elefantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775654415138120426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265401614148192566.post-69117641542770729682009-05-08T08:50:00.000+12:002009-05-08T08:50:00.000+12:00Well done with the inches.

From...Well done with the exercise and lost inches.<br /><br />From necessity at the moment we are having lots of Pumpkin soup ( we grew loads of them )<br />Quantities don't matter too much - but for a whole pumpkin I lightly fry 2 finely chopped onions in a tad of oil. Blend in a heaped teaspoon of ground cummin. Add the peeled, cubed pumpkin and 1 cup boiling water with 2 teaspoons of powdered chicken stock in it.<br />Cook till soft( adding more water to your preferred consistency. ) Blend till smooth. Garnish with parsley or similar. Sour cream is nice but not essential.Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.com
