pumpkin soup
Seems as it's Halloween, every year i throw the remains of the pumpkin out. I thought this year i would have a go at making some pumpkin soup, never tasted it before so thought i'd give it a try. Anyone got any quick and easy recipes for this?

Gonna try adding some ground corriander, garlic, fresh chilli, onion and blackpepper.
Its costing me nothing as i already have left over ingredients from the curry i'm making so i thought i'd give it a go, so it doesn't realy matter wether it tastes nice or not

My mum loves the stuff - i think it's vile!!
Something along the following:
Pumpkin
1 onion
Chicken Stock
1 large potato
1 clove of garlic
3 tbsp of butter
Cream
salt & pepper to taste
Fry onion off in the butter. Chop the pumpkin flesh & peel & chop potato. Add pumpkin, crushed garlic, onion & potato to 1/2 pint of chicken stock.
Cook until vegetables are tender.
Blend until smooth - add cream until it reaches your desired consistancy. Salt & pepper to taste
Voila
