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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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?

You can make delish jam with pumpkins.

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

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

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!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

You can make delish jam with pumpkins.

Sorry !

Thanks everyone.All sounds delish.

Will be soup making later.

Rissotto also sounds yum. Any good recipes for that?

Wish I could make jam but no equipment

Pumpkin curry, recipe on pumpkins in tesco

Oh, I don't have a Tesco near. Could you post it as it sounds good

ok, in a bit

1.5kg pumpkin peeled and de-seeded
2 carrots peeled
1 pepper, cored and de-seeded
1courgette
2 small onions
1tbsp oil
3 tbsp mild curry paste
50g philly light, softened
150ml semi skimmed milk

roast all veggies at 200c for 35 minutes, saving 1 onion.
heat oil in a large saucepan, finely chop and fry the remaining onion with the curry paste for 5 mins
add the philly and milk
stir util smooth
stir the curry sauce through the roasted veg & have with rice/naan

that sounds nice! and more importantly, easy!

So maybe I'll try the curry

I think I may need more pumpkins!!!!

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.

This Pumkin PIe is fab - have made it loads of times and is really YYUMMY!
