[mooshy]

So anyone got any good recipes for pumkin soup >
Have the inside of 3 huge pumpkins to bin tomorrow and it seems such a waste.Must be megga simple ! Had some pumpkin and parsnip soup at a restaurant yest and that was yummy, but wouldn`t know where to start

bump cos I would like to do this too instead of wasting the insides

Another bump x

I made a lovely pumpkin stew the other day. Fried some red onion, carrot, parsnip, yellow pepper in olive oil, then diced the pumpkin (fairly large pieces) and added it with some courgette, a couple of tomatoes, mushrooms and a can of kidney beans, put a bit of stock made with Marmite over it (not too much - not quite covering the veg) and left to simmer for an hour or so. It was lovely. Pumpkin was the main veg in it because I used a whole one and only one each of the other veg.

That sounds yummy-will try and thanks

I was going to post a link to delia smith page but you have to pay for her previously free online recipes now. Shame.
She does a great pumpkin soup. With gruyere or fontine cheese. I may have the recipe downstairs. Not sure. Will look.

Mooshy, make sure the pumpkins are the edible variety!

Not all pumpkins sold for Hallowe'en are.

(butternut squash is much nicer )

I peel and dice the pumpkin, add a chopped onion, a veggie stock cube and about 2 pints of water. Boil for abot 45 mins and blitz with the blender.

pmsl Hippiechondria!

Let's face it, pumpkin is not nice.

As mercy said,get the right pumpkin! the best variety are dull red in colour

We like butternut and hokkaido (sp?).
