Good Recipe for Pumpkin Soup or anything else I can do with 11 Pumpkins!!!!!!!!!

[MaggsS]

Hi,

Could you please help with some recipes for using up pumpkins please

All 11 of them!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brightwell]

11 goodness me....sorry no help. I only ever roast the seeds. I've never had any joy with pumpkin soup, always bland. so I'll be watching this with interest and may do something with our 2 pumpkins.

[AmIWhatAndWhy]

Pumpkin soup is good if you add chilli and coriander.

Risotto maybe?

You could freeze some chunks and use them to bulk out casseroles or curries?

[Beachcomber]

You can make delish jam with pumpkins.

[ledodgy]

Yeah you need spices with pumpkin soup even a bit of curry powder/paste added makes a world of difference.

[Marina]

Agree that pumpkin soup needs spice. Curry powder works, as well as chilli

[midnightexpress]

I had some lovely pumpkin soup at a friend's house last week and am about to go and try to replicate it. I was told that the secret ingredients were ground cloves (just a little bit) and nutmeg.

Will report back.

(DS2 lapped it up, btw)

Wiull second the soup, if made with a good stock and some coriander and chilli its lovely.

Rissotto also good as is a pumpkin pie!

[Beachcomber]

You can make delish jam with pumpkins.

[MaggsS]

[purplemonkeydishwasher]

that sounds nice! and more importantly, easy!

[MaggsS]

So maybe I'll try the curry

I think I may need more pumpkins!!!!

[vonsudenfed]

Roast the pumpkin with some quarter lemons, and when it's done squeeze them over it.

While it's roasting fry some onion, and when it's soft add a tablespoon or less of thai green curry paste (and some chilli and ginger if you have some). Add a can of coconut milk and heat very gently so the flavour infuses.

When the pumpkin is ready, stir it into the coconut milk and liquidize. You may need a bit of water, maybe not. Add some Thai fish sauce and some fresh coriander if you have some, if you don't it still tastes great.
